  2. Nursing One of the Fastest Growing Jobs in America

    SunSurfRN replied to Fly Guy JB's topic in General Nursing

    SunSurfRN replied to jallen5's topic in Government, Military

    SunSurfRN replied to YEQUITA17's topic in California Nursing

  11. BSN Required...what does this mean for the 2yr ADN programs ?

    SunSurfRN replied to DaddyO's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    With the amount of new ABSN programs, don't assume ADNs couldn't be net replaced. Every college with a BSN can add summer classes and graduate a second degree class in a year and a

  12. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    SunSurfRN replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

  15. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    SunSurfRN replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    The second degree ABSN program produced a 100% pass rate last year...can't speak for the undergrad program @ Wagner. I can envision CSI undergrads passing at higher rates...its a much more rigorous...

    SunSurfRN replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    Wagner College is a fantastic program...your misinformed. Theres many PAs, NPs, and RNs in north shore LIJ (the very hospital in question) out of Wagner...if they're so awful they would be hired? Be...

  20. How important is NLN accreditation?

    SunSurfRN replied to sdmommie's topic in California Nursing

    California is a massive state, like a country. Making a blanket statement like this is kind of presumptuous. I actually know a MAJOR hospital organization that will only consider 1) BSN and 2) NLN...

  25. Male Nurses

    SunSurfRN replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing
