    Chance of ADN to get a Hospital Job?

    metal_m0nk replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    Yes. Because the one in my example has no experience. I think I made that pretty clear. Many don't have experience. If you do a search of the website, you're likely to find many posts from recent...

    ADN straight to MSN with a BS already?

    metal_m0nk replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    Yes, you absolutely can. A lot of people on these boards will impart all sorts of completely untrue and poorly researched advice on this subject. However, it is often done in defense of their own...

    metal_m0nk replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    I do so hate the spread of misinformation. A BSN is NOT required to get an MSN. A bachelor's degree in ANY field plus an ADN will qualify you for a good number of MSN

    metal_m0nk replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    A care plan is nothing more than a way to organize, conceptualize, and rationalize care in the context of the nursing process. Most of us drive daily, utilizing a set of traffic rules we've learned at...

    metal_m0nk replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I'm willing to bet that floor nurses draft care plans all the time - in their minds - and use them to organize and individualize care. They just don't have time to sit behind a desk and type them up...
