    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Even an accelerated BSN program takes 2 years. Some do it in18 months, but I don't see how that is even

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    It's hard to say.....but, I think you should go straight through the BSN program. A lot of my coworkers are doing that, and working part time (one just moved to full time but she is done with her BSN...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Or, In my case a BSN will take, oh.....6,7 years! LOL I am just kidding....I spent 3 years on the ADN waitlist when I could be done with BSN by now. In my program, we have 60 hours of clinical hours...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Agreed. Many hospitals are trying to gain Magnet status, and part of that requirement is that the nursing staff have BSN's. I would say if someone is going to go into nursing, may as well get your...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Many nurses with a BSN work at the bedside. I used to think, as you do, that I didn't want to be a manager, so I don't need a BSN. Well, I changed my thinking, LOL. Eventually, a lot of places are...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Depends on the college, and the state. You need a MSN to teach at the BSN level. PhD is optional. As a BSN student, many of my cohorts before me were asked to teach the clinicals for the BSN program,...

    Really? How so? Doesn't seem like it to me, when an ADN program is 2 years and a BSN is 4. ADN and BSN takes the same

    Wow, good for you! I am hoping, someday, to be an OB nurse, too! Congrats and good luck on the NCLEX. You will do

    I think I've landed my dream job

    SE_BSN_RN replied to bostonbakednurse's topic in Home Health

    I was just hired on for a HHC agency, and after reading some of these posts, I am very excited, especially after being in LTC for so long! My agency doesn't have MCD/MC patients, they take private pay...

    Excited for a new job opportunity

    SE_BSN_RN replied to muesli's topic in Home Health

    My pay for HHC is more than my pay was for LTC, and both hourly. I think it depends on location and company, too. Good

    Home Health!! Need Advice!!!!

    SE_BSN_RN replied to tinaj191's topic in Home Health

    All this is even great advice for me, a not-so-new grad! I just got a job with HHC after 6 years in LTC. Part time for now. Any advice on how to prioritize/plan my day? Anything specific I should ask...

    How can new RN grads in CA get experience?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in California Nursing

    It's not just in CA, or acute care. You pretty much have to take what you can get these days. I had the same frustrations but found a HHC agency that hired me without home care experience, and will...

    I am glad to read this. I am thinking about HHC, too. LTC is just too much politics for me. I am beyond

    Relocating to Colorado, advice with schools needed?!

    SE_BSN_RN replied to FumblingThrough's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Depends on where you are moving to. Make sure you have an excellent GPA and research the school as much as possible. The wait lists are long (but I think most schools are moving away from them.) I was...

    Clinical etiquette: card for nurse on the floor??

    SE_BSN_RN replied to njmomstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Definately! When I was a student, I had a family member of a patient I took care of (I stood by her as her dad took his last breath, afraid she was going to faint, and held her hand) who wrote a note...

    I can say I totally know where you are coming from. I don't have your experience, but, boy do I know. I'm sorry to hear you are frustrated, and feel beaten down. I am right there with

    Questions for Current NPs

    SE_BSN_RN replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know that, too! :) But working at the bedside, are you working as the APN or the RN? My problem is there is so much to do as a BSN I can't decide, cuz I want to do it all! But, really, my ultimate...
