1. Associates RN vs BSN

   EDRN75 replied to derekfitness's topic in ADN/BSN

   I have BS in Biology, worked at a hospital that paid for my AAS education, but did not hire me because I did not have a BSN. Yeah, go figure!! No one cares what kind of degree you have. They only want a BSN. Lucky for me, I am in an area that readily...

3. Minor medical emergency on my airplane trip today!

   EDRN75 replied to BSNgrad2010's topic in General Nursing

   I see your point and also realize that the possibilty of coming back from asystole is very low. However, I would hate to think that someone died because I wasn't able to access the emergency equipment that might have saved their life. At the same tme...

   EDRN75 replied to es0718's topic in General Nursing

   I got rejected after a second interview. When I reapplied to other areas, the nurse recruiter automatically forwarded my app. I did not have to start from scratch with the recruiter. Truthfully, why? I passed the recruiter's initial screening. If she...

7. Difficulty finding jobs Memphis

   EDRN75 replied to LoVe_PeDs's topic in Tennessee

   I too graduated in December with my ADN. Waited until I was licensed to apply. Got a job in the ED 3 weeks after I started looking. Peds, L/D, and ICU are the most competitive areas so if that is where you want to go, I am sure they have been bombard...
