To BostonFNP: "I am still curious why you posted this link, as it works against your argument not for it...." It clearly shows the pass rates for diploma graduates are higher than those who graduated...
Response to BostonFNP, "A nurse with a doctorate is not necessarily a "better nurse" than a nurse with an ADN. That is not the "theory" at all, and it shows how little you truly understand the issue...
In response to BostonFNP: You're right. My oversight, I should have better qualified my response. The pass rates of BSN graduates were significantly higher than those who graduated from Associate's...
Responding to Laurie52, "After reading all your posts, I get that you are opposed to the BSN, but I am not sure why. If you want to be a nurse, it only makes sense to me that you would get a...
In response to BostonFNP, "I haven't been a bedside RN in three years. I am willing I bet I could more than keep up with you in the floor with your how many years experience?" You may be able to run...
Quote from Ivn2bsoon: "The studies are out there. Apparently, ADN's aren't taught EBP? Research? If anyone works for Kaiser, they can tell you about EBP, patient outcomes, and education." Not true;...
In response to BostonFNP: "You can keep slinging that it is a "false" idea but you have yet to provide any evidence at all to support it." You still haven't provided or mentioned one shred of evidence...
In response to BostonFNP: "That is not the "theory" at all, and it shows how little you truly understand the issue at hand." It's exactly the issue. They're trying to sell nurses, hospital management...
In response to BostonFNP: That last line about not being a nurse anymore is a joke right? It's the same level of a joke as the one postulated by a group of self-serving idiots who if they had their...
In response to BostonFNP: "You can continue to say that you are just waiting for data to change your mind, but be honest about the fact there will be an excuse for any data that would change your...
In response to PMFB-RN: Everything you said is right on the money. It's what I've been fighting against for the last couple of years. Because of one flawed, biased study which academic elitists...
If there is any doubt that the purpose of the Aiken study was not to undertake an unbiased research project to look at how different levels of nursing education affect patient outcomes; but to...
All the intellectual jargon posted by those with higher degrees have not and can not refute that which is irrefutable: All the so-called experts trying to drive the BSN push with their pseudo-science...
In response to BostonFNP: The study you mentioned was undertaken by the following: Faculty of Nursing, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am harsh with academic elitists in ivory...
In response to BostonFNP: You say there is a significant amount of data out there to prove that hospital staffed with more BSN nurses provide better patient care. I also challenged you time and time...
In response to PMFB-RN: What you described is the finest example I ever heard of for transitioning a new nurse from a new grad to the role of caregiver. Residencies like the one you described should...
In response to Boston FNP: So far, all the so-called data I've seen that tries to lend credence to the notion that hospitals staffed with more BSNs provide better patient care has come from those who...
So tell me how taking redundant courses (I say redundant because this material is included in any RN program) such as Theoretical Foundations, Current Issues, Professional Ethics and Leadership will...
Not in all cases. But someone with a BSN and experience would have many transferable skills that are highly desired in a business environment. Attention to detail, good documentation skills, time...
I think by now we all know who's driving the BSN push and why. I am an RN with a previous Bachelor's in Business Management. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would consider that a common sense...
Brandy, I'm glad to hear from nurses like you who are wise enough to see right through all this higher degree garbage. As I've said time and time again; the majority of those driving and in favor of...
Not picking on anyone. Many hospitals in my area are under budget constraints so they want to hire nurses who can hit the ground running. Especially for units such as trauma, ICU they currently...
The lawsuits will start to come from patients receiving poor care due to these morons in hospital management who'd rather hire BSNs with little or no experience over Associate's and diploma prepared...
What we have here is anything but unbiased published scholarly research. What we have is a biased piece of propaganda specifically designed to boost the revenues of four year schools and hospital...
