I live in Atlanta. I got my license in April. Every where I have applied they tell me I have no experience or I need a BSN. I have 11 plus years as a CNA/Phlebotomist/Er Tech. Yeah no RN experience, but I know the hospital and how it runs. I have seen the nurses work and what their job consist of. On the other hand I am enrolled in school to get my BSN. One semester left and I am done. So, give me another excuse besides those two. Is anyone else having this issue? If I did not have a family I would be in another state right now.
