    NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    HM2VikingRN replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I want a BSN.

    HM2VikingRN replied to eriksoln's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My pet peeve is when ADN's describe themselves as "just a 2 year RN." Or RN's say "just an LPN." As an ex-HM I know that the LPN's are strong procedurally. I think the ADNs are strong on sheer number...
