  1. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Right, it had to do with four year colleges and universities in general but it falls in line with many of the same reasons for the BSN push. What I was doing required some transference of thought and...

  2. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've spoken to professionals in all the areas you mentioned. The degree inflation was nothing more than a feeble attempt to make these professions appear more doctor-like, to keep students in school...

  3. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No, I have a problem with this degree inflation crap being pushed by the very people who stand to benefit from it and thinking nurses are too stupid to see their real

  4. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    avengingspirit1 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As I've stated before; all those driving the BSN push are in some way affiliated with academia or an organization that will benefit monetarily from having nurses scramble back to school. I believe...

  5. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sorry, I can't do that. Nursing students as well as existing nurses are being duped out of thousands of dollars and they need to know the truth. The reason why nursing is in the state it's in today...

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can't publish the full names of these people for risk of getting them into trouble but they include are Dr. Terry B., Dr. John S., Dr. William B., Dr. John R. just to name a

  7. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    All studies done were by those who gain monetarily by duping nursing students into increasing their student loan debt. The goal of the BSN push is to line the pockets of those doing the pushing....

  8. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've been hearing the same thing from nurses here in Phila. that many new BSN grads are deficient in basic nursing skills such as taking a manual BP. I've been told many are even carrying their...

  9. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Writing papers on contemporary nursing thought in APA format in an RN-BSN program will not influence patient outcomes in the least. That's the propaganda being sold, especially to the younger nurses,...

  10. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hospitals are making that wrong choice because the twits in administration and human resources were easily manipulated by a piece of garbage study that came out in 2003 whose only purpose was to...

  11. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As as far as the BSN goes, it's just another part of this phony degree inflation going on today which is merely scheme to suck more money from the pockets of students and professionals and line the...

  12. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    avengingspirit1 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "do you think for profit or non profit will suffer more under the ACT" Good question. Honestly, I'm not sure. I'll have to run that by either my brother, who is an actuary or an acquaintance...

  13. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    avengingspirit1 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're right on point. I do have a question though. Magnet gives the institution bragging rights of longer nurse retention. I know each facility is different but from what you see at your facility,...

  14. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    avengingspirit1 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You keep saying you FEEL. The fact that every nurse I had spoken to said that magnet status did not do anything to improve working conditions for nurses is all the evidence I need. I don't need a...

  15. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    avengingspirit1 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It is a fact that hospitals receive federal money for attaining "Magnet Recognition." It is a fact that hospitals put on a dog and pony show when the evaluators are there. It is a fact that...

  16. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    avengingspirit1 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is the bottom-line truth on Magnet Status: Magnet status has become a private joke in the nursing profession. When the evaluators come, hospitals are well aware in advance and make sure that only...

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you're exactly right. Honestly, I never did hold human resources people in high regards and generally try to bypass them at all costs. They're another bunch of

    In response to Heathermaizey: I agree with just about everything you said. Just not sure about the older nurses calling out more often than the younger ones. I guess it varies from place to place....

    Excellent. I knew this was going on; just not to this large of a degree. I'd like to investigate it

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    P. Benner, Aiken, M.White, J.Haebler; it's the same old song and dance from these people. No, it's not a surprise this nonsense is being put out by major academic centers. They get large grants and...

  21. ADN's being pushed out

    avengingspirit1 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As I've stated time and time again, the only pro BSN information has come from those affiliated with institutions who stand to gain from the influx of students into these programs. Institutions such...

    True that X 1000. It also would seem that these elitists think they have a monopoly on the nursing
