  1. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    Berkeley posted a topic in General Nursing

    The government (military and VA) differentiate between nurses with an ADN and those with a BSN. The ANA differentiates between them, but the civilian industry does not. If the civilian hospitals ever...

  2. lpn-rn...same difference

    Berkeley replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    No, now hold on a minute. The problems of professionalism don't include LPN issues. I don't mean to be rude, but whether or not LPNs are unified with RNs makes no difference to the profession of...

  3. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    Berkeley replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    You know, you have something there, and I hadn't thought of it. The US government makes a distinction between the ADN and the BSN. It is very possible that if socialized medicine takes hold in the US,...

  4. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    Berkeley replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing you have all these assistive roles. LPN, CNA, PCA, MT, And same with physicians: NP, PA, Surgical techs (the ones that work in the clinics). The fact is it's expensive and time consuming...

    Berkeley replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of people in the medical field. There are two that are foundational: the physician and the registered nurse. These are the two that society includes within the "professions." One...

  11. Can I still become a nurse?

    Berkeley replied to LongRoad's topic in General Nursing

    So, five years ago, you were in a mental hospital for substance abuse...hmm. You're best bet is to contact your state nursing board and lay it all on the line and get their input--annonymously if you...
