After much hard work, dedication, and sacrifice I obtained my BSN RN in 2004. Today I walked out of an orientation at a major Raleigh, NC hospital because I was told why I asked why RN's could not proudly display their education and credentials "WE d...

You are right and that was my DUMB mistake. I left a magnet hospital never realizing what so many nurses were trying to tell me: that eventually the intrinsic benefits far outweigh the money. I learned an important lesson....there are more importan...

Thank you...and thanx for the laugh...not being able to opne the code cart....it has happened to all of us.

Well the American Nurse Credentialling Center CARES! As a matter of fact...magnet status is reflected in the number of BSN...credentialed nurses! Does anyone here read or subscribe to nursing journals?

Let me make this clear: ...there are many WHO CAN RUN CIRCLES AROUND MANY BSN and MSN grads.....I am not negating this fact! As a result, their accomplishments should also be recognized! As a matter of fact, I think it is unfortunate that many ADN...

Not at all.......I am enjoying expressing my views....perhaps I am on the way to establishing a great thesis for my Masters....perhaps I will research this very topic...perhaps I may decide to do a longitudal study.....I never stop learning and just...

Kaiser pays $2.00 more per hour for BSN.. organizations are now realizing and many are coming aboard differentiating pay according to credentials degree. I have no prblem with "wiping buns and pushing meds" I began my career as a CNA and and it was...

There is and has NEVER been a "hard road of employment for me" As a matter of fact my road of employment has been extremely well paved. I have had great opportunites and chosen for many special projects that I earned competed very heavily for. Wa...

It will matter when you obtain your BSN. There is soooooooooo much hard work...research papers...statistics..socialization paper...grant writing....etc...many areas that as an ADN you would have never been exposed to. As I stated earlier it simply...

Does anyone here read??? http://www.oncc.org/publications/pdf/credential.pdf

ANOTHER MORAL OF THIS STORY THAT I SEE AS IMPORTANT IS: Your father was very proud of ALL of his accomplishments no matter how large (J.D) or small (penmanship)...but ALL were equally as important as the next. Who knows the penmanship may have mea...

One more thing.....you ARE RIGHT...MY EMPLOYER DOES OWN MY NAME BADGE BUT MY EMPLOYER DOES NOT OWN ME! This entire experience has movitvated meto obtain my MSN/MBA and eventually open my own business and set my own standards. When I do, I will e...

I am not conerned how I am judged by floor nurses.....I am concerned with the level of care I give to my patients and how my patients feel about me. I am concerned with my contiued growth and development in nursing. I am concerned with continuing to...

Would we say this to sodliers who are serving in Iraq or any soldier? HE/She proudly displays their riflemanship, honors, awards, credentials etc.......We do not question it. Oftentimes their uniforms house many many certiffications awards etc.......

Would you say that to a soldier who has earned various badges of honor?? It shows his committement to his profession...and yes HE/SHE wears it PROUDLY!

We have choices.....I am confident in my abilites. We are nurses...we can do anything! As for walking off the job...I simply made a choice. I wrote my resignation and my reasons and professionally handed it to HR. I stood up for what I beleive in...

Calliotter...in additon as far as having a "hard time in the workforce" It is that attitude that continues to keep RNs from turuy being recognized for the hard work that we do. As RNs we do not have to "punch anyone's clock" There are soooooooooo ...

Callioter I am so sorry that you feel this way. Are you a BSN? Probably not. The grand scheme of things is that many of us have sacrificed so much to obtain our education. Do you understand what it takes to be credentialed? I am working on my cr...

I AM ABSOLUTELY APALLED THAT A HOSPITALK WOULD NOT ALLOW A NURSE TO DISPLAY HER HARD WORK, DEDICATION, AND DILGENCE TO THE PROFESSION OF NURSING. I obtqained my BSN in 2004 after hard work and sacrifice. Today, 4/20/09 I walked out of an orientation...

CONGRATULATIONS! I KNEW U COULD DO IT. I KNOW IT WAS THE WORSE WIAT IN YOUR LIFE. GO OUT AND GET YOURSELF SOMETHING NICE! GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CAREER:rotfl: :rotfl: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

Hi DSEPNCE, Thanx for the congratulations...how thoughtful. Let me say that I know what u are going through. The wait is TERRIBLE...In my opinion it is worse than taking the actual boards. I would get up at 2am and 4am and 6am calling the automate...

Hello, I took the NC NCLEX on 10/28 in Raleigh @9AM and I have not heard a thing. I do not know. ON the other hand, a classmate of mine who took her test on a Thursday recieved her license in the mail the following Tuesday. I know this wating is...

Hello everyone and current and future RN's. I took the NClex in Raleigh, Nc on 10/28/04 at 9am. I have been BLOWING the automated phone(881-2292) and I have been checking the NC board website (NC doesn't have quick rsults). Has anyone taken the...
