FutureOncoNurse

I got in too!! I’ve only applied to 4, and got rejected by the other 3, so this was such a huuuuge relief. Whew!!

I’ve applied to both ABSN and MECN/MEPN, because why not. I wanted to keep my options open. I know this sounds really generalized, but some nurses told me that major hospitals don’t like hiring new A-BSN grads — they tend to not retain as much and not very solid, just because the program is just too fast-paced. So they tend to prefer traditional BSNs or MECN/MEPNs. They have better job prospects than A-BSNs do. Sure, we’ll all end up as RNs, but I think it does make a difference when you’re trying to land on the first job fresh out of nursing school. And MECN/MEPNs do not get another MSN to become a NP. They need a DNP degree. Many MSN degrees are now trying to transition to DNP programs.
