    jenrninmi replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    Higher education...not just BSN. I AM aware that many ADNs have higher degrees in another field. I think it depends on what the previous BA or BS degree was. If the curriculum pertains to nursing...

    Any nurse recruiters out there?
