  1. If you apply Maslows hierarchy of needs then nutrition would be above any mental instability. This might be where the question and your instructor was leading you.
  2. "If experience is everything, why bother?" Self satisfaction. Wider range of job opportunities... On the flip side of your question (and not to do anything other than pose a question)... why should...
  3. I think you will be safe for many years to come, the rumor of going to BSN is not an old one. I think that not feeling the debate where you work is a good sign that so far the Board of Nursing, and...
  4. What were/are your ADN classes?

    Your program swtooth, sounds similar to the one I attended with a few of the names of the courses different but most likely same style of content. What are the subjects covered in the nursing I, II,...
  5. "not everyone can commute an hour or more each way to attend a uni program, when there are ADN programs nearer by." In my case the "local" university BSN program was 5 hours away (not even an option...
  6. What were/are your ADN classes?

    "developmental psychology, behavioral psychology, health institutions (sociology), and death and dying (an interdisciplinary offering)" Those classes are different and sound very interesting. Even if...
  7. What were/are your ADN classes?

    "Are you working as an rn now what the schedule like? just wondering" No. I am currently an RN. I was just curious about the differences in curriculum because of all the heated debates under this...
  8. "I think the use of the term "real" nurses isn't necessary." I think dancingqueen was simply using the term some tend to use in the argument in regards to the ADN vs BSN debate. Not really a personal...
  9. What were/are your ADN classes?

    Is there perhaps a bette place to post this question?
  10. Do you think that has more to do with ALL those commercials about becoming a 'medical technician' rather than the different degrees available for RN's? Maybe we should put more effort toward...
  11. To clearify: You're NOT saying that's what an ADN or Associates Degree is in regards to Nursing... Correct?
  12. With so many non-traditional nursing students I don't think that is the norm. I also think that most become nurses because they WANT to be nurses and don't really think about the prestege of what...
  13. :yeahthat:
  14. In Wyoming there is one University and it is in the South Eastern part of the state. There are 7 ADN programs scattered throughout the state. Many nursing students are non-traditional in the ADN...
  15. I am an RN with an ADN degree from a 2 year program at a local college. As for Bridging from "RN" to "BSN"... the way I understand it, once you "bridge" to the BSN you are still an RN.
  16. I can't speak for aacurtis72 or any other poster on here but that is exactly what I was wanting from my education anyway... So... I'm happy! I am thank full for the fact that an ADN program was...
  17. I am not sure what you meant by this statement. But for me, my graduation day from my ~ College ~ (wasn't a University as I went for the ADN) was a day of great accomplishment for me, and Yes! I did...
  18. If I had needed to attend a 4 year program at the university I would not have become a nurse. It was not a matter of "fulfilling my desire" that made the difference for me. Being a mother of 3, 18...
  19. I did clinical hours in these exact things in my ADN program + some. We also had to do a community project (actually 2) that were quite extensive as well as our capstone. I am now working in the town...
  20. I Just Don't Understand...

    I took my notes with a normal pen (blue or black) then used a red pen to 'star' information I wanted to pay particular attention to (i.e. instructor said was particularly important, something I needed...
  21. Should I or should I not?

    I have only been working in the nursing profession since last June but have several times wished I had stuck with spanish when I was still in middle school. I personally have had a few patients that...
  22. I Just Don't Understand...

    Nursing school is completely different and it is normal to be broad sided by all that is involved. If you don't try and rebel against it right out of the gate you will be much better off. Grab ahold...
  23. First of all, keep in mind that everyone has their stronger subjects and the ones they find more difficult. PEDS may just be your difficult subject. That means nothing other than you don't grasp it...
  24. Test Help

    I knew you would get it. It really is a matter of understand the different testing format isn't it? Throughout nursing school you will continue to improve on nursing process because you learn to think...
