    Currently ADN, should I have gone for BSN?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to futurern118's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm a new grad from an ADN program in the Northeast- where all the hospitals are magnet and BSN is standard. ADN is akin to a diploma program (which are nearly extinct, I think). It's harder to find...

    NYC Nursing Students - a little lost

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in New York Nursing
