Most of the nurses in my BSN program have no desire to work bedside after they get their BSN. I have an associates and I work away from the bedside already ,so I have no desire to go to the bedside. I wonder who will desire to work at the bedside not many nurse with a LPN,ASN,or BSN...so after this BSN push I do think this ideology will taper off because a majority of nurses do not want to work the bedside no matter the educational level

I understand the more degrees a nurse has the less likely they will work beside.I would not work bedside with a MSN and some BSN's feel the same way.

I work with ODD children and kids on the specturm,this is a tough time for them at Christmas as a lot of the kids we have are in foster care,residential and broken homes.This time of year is the worst for staff,we cant wait for break.

i agree if you dont like the LPN ROLE/PAY become a RN.We both do the same work but the lpn getts paid less that would make me feel mad and resentfull

I feel if your happy with your chocie do not defend it to anyone. I went straight RN because I did not want to take two nclexs lpn and rn and it would have taken be longer to lpn to rn because i know once i graduate from one program it will be hard for me to jump back in to studying again.

I feel you are in a great position getting your education at such a young age. I did the same thing bachelors then started my pre reqs at 22 and graduated 26 and lots of people were jealous telling me to to not rush school because i have my whole life etc. Most adults would love to be in your situation no kids,getting a RN license and be in a position to lead and not be led.Continue on your on the right track.

I say do it save the income from one job and live off the other job for approx 2 years if you can last that long with those demanding specialties,then choose a speciality because you cant too two full time jobs forever you will stroke out with the stress. if you dont have no kids and in your twenties i say do it because these are the years to set up your retirement.

Nursing school does not break up relationships ,it may put a strain on them because Of the workload. A mans going to cheat nursing school or not .

Your rationale on not studying a day before a test is true ....the whole day before I spent my day relaxing and watching law and order and surprise surprise I made a 84. As nursing students we know the info and sometimes when you overstudy that's when you run into the what if scenarios when answering questions.

i felt the same way my first semester, I made low 80,s and their were people who worked full time and had a 90 average.Thats how the cookie crumbles as long as your passing the class thats all that matters.

I understand what you mean. In my school their are only two black people in the nursing program and i am one of them. Sometimes i feel like the odd ball out but I have recognized if you really want to do something do it forget what the nay sayers say. In life people are going to be for you or against you.

I feel the same way im easy to get stressed .I have always been a A and B student and its sad to have to struggle to pass when you put in so much effort and have the drive.I will be hanging thier and make my dreams become a reality.

very true i know people that are nurses who have dated or cuurently married to drug dealers...

you can do it first semester is the hardest between clinical,skill checkoffs ,lecture and not to mention nursing pappers.Do not let the reading get you down read and take notes on things you do and dont understand fyi if you can not explain it throughly that mean you review that part .A good tip i learned is to take the chater quizes befrore you read the chapter to see what you know based on your own knowledge then read the chapter,this has helped

I admit some prof thier goal is to see who will crack under pressue your goal is to prove them wrong.My micro professor was like this his tests were hell he would talk about how he expects more than half the class to fail..he felt he was the person to weed out nursing students. Study study study thier is always going to be prof like this remember other people have taken the same prof and passed he/she cant fail everyone!!!!!!
