  1. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    morphed replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks :) I forgot to include the part about a BSN being the foundation for a master's degree, you're so right! What Masters programs are you looking into? Good

  2. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    morphed replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Clearly the person you mentioned bettered herself. Perhaps I was too specific by saying BSN. I think of any higher education (certifications, degrees, etc.) as bettering yourself. Certainly I...

  3. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    morphed replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, what about for intrinsic reasons? I wouldn't pursue a BSN in order to tell everybody else I was a BSN--I don't think I would advertise it either, except for in an interview. But would you want...

    What people are calling "fluff" classes are classes like english, history, math, literature, anthrpology, etc. I think these people just don't value education and are intimidated by people that have...

  5. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    morphed replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I 100% agree with you. For some reason there are some nurses out there that think just because they can get by with the bare minimum, they never have to improve themselves again. To be honest, I...

  6. Just wondering -- what is the "cost" of hiring new grads?

    morphed replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wonder if the hospitals also have to pay a higher insurance premium for new

  7. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    morphed replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think they were just tolerating ADNs, but I think now that they have the option of hiring someone with a higher level of education, they will. Here, a new grad BSN gets hired for only 10...

  8. Advice needed on further education from here

    morphed replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Which online program are you taking? I was thinking of doing the same thing but I thought employers wouldn't really like an all online program? How does your institution view it? Obviously it seems...

    I would just Google this stuff first and then ask a question if you're still

  10. Would you travel overseas for a medical procedure?!

    morphed replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, MOST doctors will speak enough English to communicate very comfortably with international patients. In fact, many of the doctors in top hospitals have completed their education at either...

    morphed replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    My mom goes to Turkey a couple of times a year (we're Turkish) and when she goes she often gets a few treatments/procedures done. She got laser hair removal for her full legs, underarmas and a...

  12. Our new boss writing everyone up!

    morphed replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I watched an episode of Oprah (I believe it was last season) and they had a mother on that was chronically late. She had a daughter that had a standing weekly appointment with a (physical?)...
