I just got a hold of her. It is true, they no longer accept ADNs. Very upsetting. I wanted to work there so bad.

I read this a few weeks back; it's the part about hiring managers having BS degrees I thought was interesting as it didn't occur to me.

I had the option of going for the associates or the BSN and I chose the BSN. My thinking was in the very near future many places were going to require the higher degree; that was over 20 years ago. It's coming to fruition, but slowly. These days, when anyone asks I tell them to go for the BSN.

To be clear, I don't think it matters; though clearly someone does. The education is important, but I think it's more about the actual person. I know doctors that aren't that smart. Some people you can throw all the education at them you want, but they are still useless. :wacky:

It's almost too scary, some of the nurses and doctors I've worked with. I think that's where the grading scale I've been reading about on here (that many schools have instituted) comes into play. Anyone can rote test for a final. I don't know what the solution is...

It is obvious that having and an associates or a BSN, does drive a rift in the American nursing profession. :whistling:
