    BSNbeauty replied to 20plusyearRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    OP I totally understand where you are coming from. Trust me, if I had your experience I would not bother with getting my BSN. I personally believe experience outweighs a BSN any day. I would rather...

    I need confidence!!

    BSNbeauty replied to missyrad's topic in Ob/Gyn
