if nys changes its requirements then the "old" adn would be grandfathered in and any new adn grads will have a period of time to get their bsn. like i said before, i was looking into adn, but for me it didn't make sense to go 2 yrs to get a adn when...

I think the difference with ADN vs. BSN is that if you ever want to further your education and get your Masters it's easier. Plus, many of the hospitals in major cities (New York City, for example) only want BSN grads. Plus you get more money with a...

I totally agree with you about being a CNA first. I am so glad that I was a CNA for a year before I decided to go back to school to get my BSN. I feel that now I know what's it like from their aspect. AND I will never be one of those nurses that say,...

I, too, want to work by the bedside. Not all BSNs want management positions. Plus, I don't consider $65,000 to $70,000 "peanuts." In the hospitals where I'm applying that's what the BSN nurse will get paid. Also, I want a family as well. Why can't...

That's too bad that you would change the line of work you're in because you don't want your BSN. BUT! The majority of health care facilities will pay for you to go back to school to further your education (so you can't use that as an excuse) How woul...

It seems to me that the nurses who are at a lower level of learning are against the move to BSN which is something I don't understand! Why wouldn't you want to further your education in your desired profession? The majority of health care workers (...

I think you should go for the RN, BS in Nursing. I'm in an accelerated program in New York where I will have my BS in Nursing within one year. I don't know why anyone would not want to further their education especially while they're young! You can ...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can give me some information about getting a job in plastic & reconstructive surgery. I will be graduating from an accelerated program this August and I want to work in this field, but I don't know how to get into it....

Thanks for the input. What area of nursing should I look into first? Maybe operating room?

AD nurses go to school 2 years less than the BSN. In the accelerated course level, the student must have all the prereqs completed before she/he can begin the program. For my program, I took 18 credits the first sem, 18 the second, and I'm currently...

I will have my BSN degree this summer. I am in an accelerated program and will complete it within one year. However, I looked into AD programs too and it did not make sense for me to go 2 yrs when I could do it all in 1 year AND have a BSN. (I also h...
