1. New Nurse Graduate-ASN

   mtnmedic replied to COboundRN's topic in Colorado

   Don't let people trick you by thinking you wont be able to get a job as an Associate. Yes, there are a few hospitals who want to hire only BSN's, BUT if you have that 1st year under your belt and plans to get or have already started your BSN, then y...

   Just to let you know DSN does have accreditation for their ADN and BSN programs though they do not have NLN "certification". And I personally know a DSN graduate (within the past year) who got hired and works at Children's. I'm not sure what you m...

    I haven't really had a chance to get started with the physical, drug testing etc but I know I do need to get on it. I am doing the straight RN program. On another note, I am coming from the Evans and Holly area...if anyone else is too, maybe we coul...
