  1. from AN it looks like the job market is much better!

    jlpsu replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Someone explain this to me please...I keep reading all over AN that Magnet hospitals...or hospitals trying to get Magnet status will not hire ADN's. Here is my confusion....The two hospitals in our...

  2. PSB Panic

    jlpsu posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello All, I am taking the PSB RN test at the end of August...and I'm panicking about it! I have been out of highschool for (ahem...) 21 years. I do have two bachelors degrees, however, so it's not...

  3. UPMC tuition reimbursement program

    jlpsu posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me whether UPMC's tuition reimbursement program has a minimum number of hours per week that you have to work to qualify? Could you work 25 hours a week for the two year...

  4. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree completely. However, even here on AN, there are those who argue that a BSN direct program STILL has more nursing content and sciences than an RN-BSN program. The way I look at it, if the...

  5. AAS RN vs. bachelors RN

    jlpsu replied to Enza's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I disagree with some of this only because if you search back on AN for at least 10 years there are posts saying the same thing...BSN's are going to be required "soon". I think it will be very...

  6. upmc mercy son and smoking rules

    jlpsu replied to weesie1244's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I was going to say the same thing. There is even a big thread here on AN about some hopitals not hiring smokers at all. As far as CCAC vs. Mercy SON - I was looking at the same thing. I am...

  7. AAS RN vs. bachelors RN

    jlpsu replied to Enza's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your credits from the AAS degree will transfer to a University that has an RN-BSN program. In fact, many of these schools are online and you can complete them fairly quickly. You will have to take...

  8. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Of course not. I wish people would see what I am asking and not extrapolate the example into the extreme (I.e. Masters and PhD comparisons). A masters level prepared nurse has 2 years of gen Ed, give...

  9. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok...so you say that you don't really think that someone with a management degree and an RN isn't capable of holding a leadership position in nursing...but then you go on to say that you think a...

  10. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No...that is not what we are saying. No one that I can see has said, "Hey, I want to count my business class as a nursing class!". Obviously, that isn't what we are saying. We are saying...the ADN...

  11. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's what I don't get. The diploma program and the associates programs locally both have MORE clinicals than the BSN programs as the major universities nearby. Addionally, both programs have...

  12. Can new grads work part time?

    jlpsu posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am just getting ready to start my science courses to hopefully start nursing school next fall. I am a career changer with a bachelors degree, but have been home mostly raising my family for the...

  13. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Similar enough to me means that they take the education given for a BS degree into account. I will need maybe 3 or 4 bridge classes to get my BSN, after having a BS degree and my RN license. I...

  14. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I seem to get what you are saying and the best explanation is that the Actual nursing courses are different for BS programs vs ADN programs. I wish I could do the...

  16. Your one stop for all the most popular pressing questions on allnurses!

    jlpsu replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was going to ask! As I said earlier in this same thread, I am very new here and I am certainly not trying to ruffle any feathers, but... I'm sure some of the posters deserve such...

  17. Your one stop for all the most popular pressing questions on allnurses!

    jlpsu replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'm new here so I definitely try to use the search function before I ask a question...but the search isn't organized by date so it might be hard to tell sometimes if an updated answer to a common...

  18. Not sure if Nursing is right for me

    jlpsu replied to vwbeetle's topic in General Nursing

    I think job satisfaction depends heavily on why one chose the profession to begin with. If one chose nursing as a career because they believed there was a nursing shortage and good money could be...

  19. Not sure if Nursing is right for me

    jlpsu replied to vwbeetle's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad you posted this as I was worried about the same thing a few weeks back. I am just starting this process and won't go to nursing school until next fall, but I am starting my science courses...

  20. UPMC tuition reimbursement program

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Typing on an iPhone, so made some mistakes above wig autocorrect!

  21. UPMC tuition reimbursement program

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks jguy! You have been so much help. I was afraid if that. Since I only want to work part time, I guess I won't be doing the tuition reimbursement then. Hopefully I won't be competing for jobs...

  22. Can new grads work part time?

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Are you in a nurse residency program? Or is it just typical orientation that is that strict in your hospital? I am already looking into my (hopeful) program's tuition reimbursement policies to see...

  23. WCCC or UPMC Mercy SON?

    jlpsu posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hello All, I have been reading this forum for weeks, but this is my first post. I did a search and while I come up with questions that are close to what I'm looking for, my situation is a little...

  24. WCCC or UPMC Mercy SON?

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks so much for the info! I'm going to just keep studying..I even thought of taking the PSB at Shadyside, even though I don't want to go there...as a practice test. I'm not sure if they share...

  25. Worried about PSB exam for entrance into nursing school

    jlpsu posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone assuage my nervousness about this test? I am 39 and haven't had a biology or chemistry class since my first go 'round in college nearly 20 years ago. I bought two books (Barons and...
