  1. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    no bachelor's degree takes 5 years! that's why people joke and say, "i'm on the 5 year plan." joke, funny, haha. translates to, "i failed some

  2. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    i'm not so much questioning it taking 3 years, although i think that's being generous - but taking two years? NO WAY! when did i ever say i spoke to everyone at the local CC? i did "speak" to the...

    a BSN does NOT take five years unless you fail

  4. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    raging? i simply asked what the benefit was, and of course - someone who got an AS has to get defensive and go off track. it's a shame that everyone that goes to my local CC is being misinformed and...

  5. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    i got an associate's degree and it took two years (but it wasn't in nursing) and then i went on to get a bachelor's and it took me 2 more years for a total of 4. the associate's for NURSING is...

  6. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    you DO realize that a BSN takes four years, correct? therefore, if the BSN is "one to two years more of schoolwork" you are implying that you can complete an AS degree in two years - three tops, and...

  7. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    wow - i think you should go back and read. i have no idea WHAT you are talking about anymore. i am talking about people who have NO degree AT ALL doing the AS or the BSN - what's the difference? ONE...

    what do you mean that made up for not going to high

  9. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    this is what i don't believe. is there a person here that can say they are a RN and got their RN in two years flat? i don't think

  10. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "So, finding the "fastest track possible" isn't obvious because of your prior degree. Many folks consider the length of the program, but are more foccussed on the education they'll receive from...

  11. Moral/Ethical Advice

    backatit2 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    my point exactly - in less words.

  12. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    nobody is looking down on anyone, but as you said, you haven't read the thread to see my inital question which was... IF you have NO degree and are starting from square ONE - what is the benefit of...

  13. Let it snow !

    backatit2 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    that's what i was going to say - ask someone to drive you. i live in the country and our roads don't get salted/cleared for days. in fact, school has been out all week and my driveway is LITERALLY a...

  14. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    backatit2 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    i'm sorry, but you don't sound like an RN - rather a resentful

  15. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    my point is that if you DO have a degree already, it is NOT faster to get an AS than it is to get a BS due to the fact that the nursing courses build upon each other. i've looked into it and here is a...

  16. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't do an AS program. I have a BS in education, but I'm going back to school to be a RN. Obviously, I was looking for the fastest track possible since I've already spent 4 years in school and...

  17. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    oh - and even with me having all those classes and having a BS in another field there's NO WAY to get around spending two years to complete the actual nursing courses. So, assuming you can do all the...

  18. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not sure - that's why I'm asking. What pre-reqs did you or do you have to take for an AS degree? Or, to make it simpler, how many credit hours? I believe I took around 60 credit hours in core...

    good

  20. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    most classes have pre-reqs. you have to take anatomy one before anatomy 2, microbiology, prob and stats, csci, speech, english, psych, etc, etc. it's a good 2 years worth even with a full load. the...

  21. willing to relocate, please recommend a place for nursing jobs

    backatit2 replied to NewMac's topic in General Nursing

    i live in east TN where they have been paying for students to go to school for years and they still are. i called a hospital earlier this year to ask about the scholarship/how competitive it was and...

  22. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    backatit2 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    i'm not saying it's a good idea. in fact, if i were that nurse i don't know if i'd want that position/responsibility. i was just agreeing with the poster because you see all over this forum how new...

  23. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    backatit2 replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i went to an interview for a PCT job where i was expecting to be offered at LEAST 9-10 dollars per hour. she said it paid MINIMUM WAGE = 7.25 per hour. i have a degree and 10 years of work experience...

    backatit2 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    yes, this really is a perfect example of a job where education matters. there are certain jobs like a doctor or a teacher or a...nurse....where you have to hold that license to do the job regardless...

  25. Moral/Ethical Advice

    backatit2 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    in my opinion - you should let karma run its course and keep quiet. i FEEL your pain. i dealt with almost the same thing. i went to school and earned my bachelor's - started school when my 1st child...
