    mnf4ever replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  3. bsn new grad jobs?

    mnf4ever replied to j5676c's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For me, its the opposite. A lot of ADN's in my area are getting all the RN jobs. I'm not sure why, maybe because hospitals can pay them less. Seems like my BSN is worth less than the paper it's...

  5. The Story of a New Graduate Nurse

    mnf4ever replied to meg708's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    mnf4ever replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's always gonna be a debate. Nurse leaders want to make BSN the standard minimum entry level for nurses, but in reality, at least in my area, a lot of ADN's are getting all the nursing jobs because...

  17. Not hired due to lack of sunshine oozing from my pores

    mnf4ever replied to nurseerina's topic in Nursing Career

    I hate when employers give false hope. I know the feeling--I was given a new hire and benefits packet, introduced to other staff as their "new nurse," given a tour of the facility, and really clicked...
