you are correct I am currently working under my ASN, however I am considering more administration and most require BSN minimal; just wondering if they would consider BN as well

I currently hold an ASN but would like to get a BSN but having difficulty finding a program that does not require clinicals. Came across a distance learning school from out of UK which supposedly has been accredited here in the US. However, they offer a BN program as opposed to a BSN program; anybody know the difference? I assumed one was a bachlor's of nursing as opposed to a bachlor's of science in nursing. Does anyone know what difference this credentialing will make when it comes to getting a job here in the US?

Discouraged, I too did HH for a while after doing hospice; in hospice had laptop and frankly did not see difference as half time laptop was always on the fritz; key to any home nursing is organization; if you do not get and stay organized you will drown! I am now doing school nursing and would not trade if for the world! whether hospice or HH you still have to deal with doctors and labs and all that nonsense, can't get around it, it is part of the job; please don't be fooled into believing that your laptop is going to make life a lot easier, it won't, just a different type of frustration; one other reason I got out of the home health/hospice was the amount of time invested; it really did seem like you were never off, they say flexibility and I do admit there is some, but the benefits did not outweigh the hassles for me; when I get off from work I want to be off not dreading to hear the telephone ring because a doctor decides that he can finally call you back with orders at 11pm at night; all I'm saying is make sure you know what you're getting into and hey if that's what you enjoy then go for it! but I really don't think that what you're experiencing has to do with adjusting to a new job so much. take care and I wish you luck!

Hello everyone, I am new to site; need some help; considering a move to TN; interested in school nursing or possibly hospice nursing; anyone know anything about job availability or requirements in these areas? coming from MD; I know I'll have to take big pay cut but also realize COL is lower; any suggestions on making the transition? thanks:uhoh21:
