   Emily-Joy out. Thanks for the lively debate, but I'll stick to the advice of my professors and peers. See you around the AN community.

   ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

   Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

   You've never seen me with patients. I put on a great "nurse" front. I actually was awarded outstanding student this semester.

   ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

   Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

   Healthcare Policy & Intro to Professional Nursing are not pre reqs. Maybe I am. But I'll still be a damn good nurse.

   ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

   Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

   I was accepted into multiple direct admit programs. There's quite a few around the nation. I currently attend UNF. Why don't I do some math for you: Freshman Fall & Spring: Prerequisites Sophomore fall: finishing prerequisites + healthcare policy...

   I ended up not going there. Just saying.

   ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

   Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

   No. I have 3 total, 2.5 of clinical experience. I had theory-based nursing classes first semester sophomore year. It's not an ego. I know I can be a physician if I wanted to. I graduated salutatorian of my college prep private high school (class of 4...

   ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

   Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

   A CNA course is 2-8 weeks, an RN requires an actual degree so this is quite laughable. And our fundamentals course is actually much more in-depth, since I go to one of the top schools in my state. I learned how to start IVs, Foleys, place NGs, provid...

   ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

   Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

   I clearly won't reach a consensus with anyone trying to refute me on this thread. I hear your opinions, though I (and honestly, my entire nursing faculty) will respectfully disagree. I am proud of myself for choosing to be a BSN nurse and I wish our ...

   ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

   Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

   They're allowed to sit for the same NCLEX because they have the core nursing skills essential for safe practice. However, all I am saying is BSNs have a broader, more developed patient care knowledge set. I never used the "you're just jealous" stance...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    I have a professor who used to be an ADN before getting her BSN and PhD in Nursing. She asserted that the ADNs who bash BSNs and claim there is no difference in their competency (yes, I know what that word means) do so because they feel threatened. I...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on a full scholarship, but thanks for looking out! I love my program and the fact that they care enough about the nursing profession to push a professional degree and higher standard of care.

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    I HAVE been on the floor, actually. Just finished Fundamentals and clinical. My clinical was in an LTC, LTAC, and hospice. I get a lot of my perspective from my family members who are currently nurses (again, one with an ADN and one with a BSN). I wh...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    Guest1033582 replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    I will start off by saying, I just finished my very first semester of nursing school so I am not on the field. But I have perspective: my dad has been an ADN nurse for almost 40 years and my aunt has been a BSN nurse for about 15. The objective viewp...

    Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Guest1033582 replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    You see, I'm not the only one who feels this way though. My friend group who has been with me since the very beginning (some of whom are already entering senior year) are breezing by with 4.0s as well while hearing 75% of our classmates complain abou...

    Fear-mongering in nursing school

    Guest1033582 replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    I just don't think nursing is any harder than other science majors that don't get nearly the amount of hype as you call it. As I mentioned, my prerequisites that I took alongside premeds, bio majors, etc were much harder conceptually than my nursing ...
