The nursing shortage was not engineered or misrepresented. The economy tanked and the large number of RN's expected to retire find that they can't afford to and they are remaining in the workforce. Additionally, the number of RN's that are mothers th...

Interview advice: In this market all the rules have changed. Be prepared to discuss why you specifically went into nursing, what your future professional goals are and to give examples of difficult patient interactions and how you handled them. All...
I have a BA- English- AD- Nursing and am currently in an accelerated RN-MSN program. I am employed full-time as a Med- Surg RN. Would that by-pass the BSN req? (I will not be awarded a BSN as part of my course of study)

I am in a similiar situation. I have a BA and I went to an ADN program which I will finish in May. The major hospitals in Boston said BSN preferred 6 months ago- now they are BSN minimum. I am absolutely distraught. I am applying preemptively into ...
