  8. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    michellebsn replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    michellebsn replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    michellebsn replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  17. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    michellebsn replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  19. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    michellebsn replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    First of all I did not mean to denigrate MDs or any other medical professionals. A big MEA CULPA there. I should have stated this differently obviously, I didn't. I meant that as far as patient...

    michellebsn replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
