    80% BSN staffing by 2020

    PMFB-RN replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    TPTB is interested in more than just a BSN prepared nursing work force. Judging by their actions they also seek to punish those who had the temerity to enter RN practice with only a "2 year" degree. I...

    New Male Nurse = No Problem Landing A Job ???

    PMFB-RN replied to RetSGT's topic in Men in Nursing

    Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    PMFB-RN replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    If I were a new ADN grad with my first RN job I wouldn't even consider doing RN to BSN. I would skip the BSN altogether and do an RN to MSN program. They can be done in two years

    PMFB-RN replied to swngstr's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    PMFB-RN replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    PMFB-RN replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    PMFB-RN replied to TheBlackDogWaits's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
