Now I'm on the search for a bachelor's degree-prepared RN.

Thank you! You've both made my week!!!

Thanks! I don't think we have a pre-op clinic in my area, but that sounds very useful. I'm sure patients feel more comfortable (and are safer) pre- and post-op with this service. I appreciate these responses; the wonderful nurses of allnurses.com come through for students in need once more!!! I do need clarification on classicdame's degree, and then one more helpful nurse to share his/her education and how it pertains to their job(s) after graduation and currently.

Oh, and if the site allows, if you could include your initials (to protect your identification, yet allow me to turn in legit work), it would be a great help. I suppose I could make up initials for this assignment, but that wouldn't be very ethical of me..

Hi roser13, A paragraph like the one above would be fine, and greatly appreciated! I do need to know what kind of degree you received, how that degree program prepared you (or didn't prepare you) for the responsibilities of the position you sought, any examples for clarification, and what you currently do now.

Thank you very much for responding! What was your degree program, and did you have to get a separate certification in order to be a Nurse Educator?

I was actually entertaining the thought of working in the ED after graduation. Thanks for the insight!!! :) Stay strong.

hello everone! i'm new to allnurses.com, but i have come across it several times in my random nursing student googling. i joined for some help with a school assignment dealing with nurses' education levels and how they feel it has prepared them for their current job. i am to interview 3 different licensed nurses with different educational backgrounds, "determine how adequate the nurses feel their educational program prepared them for practice related to the responsibilities of their position (with examples); also include information related to their general place of employment (acute care, long term care, home health, etc) and their current position." feel free to post here or through a private message; please let me know if i need to clarify anything.
