  1. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    Nurse-Prestige replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good post. It's important to advocate for higher education in nursing, and that is why i am for the BSN being the minimum requirement entry level in

  2. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    Nurse-Prestige replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What are you talking about? When I said complete education, I am talking about everything in the BSN curriculum: nursing classes, leadership, evidence based, etc.. There are many many BSN nurses...

  3. ASN vs Other Degrees? Help!

    Nurse-Prestige replied to SKay226's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Go for the BSN, improve your chances especially that you live in a major city, don't settle for the lower

  4. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    Nurse-Prestige replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I disagree with you respectfully, If I was a patient I would rather have a nurse that studied nursing for four years take care of me then a nurse that studied a year or two. Same goes with any field,...

  5. Chances of getting into grad school...

    Nurse-Prestige replied to mcapuano's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would say it makes no difference. I think it would be just easier to go straight for your BSN, then it would be going for your ADN and then

  6. ADN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to itsthatgirldj's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You should get your BSN. Do not settle for ADN. Many hospitals (and increasing) are not hiring low level degrees such as the ADN or Diploma certificate. They only hire BSN nurses. These are usually...

  7. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree that the higher the degree, the higher the chances of getting hired, and the more opportunities that will be

  8. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am RN (BSN). Working on my MSN (2 more semesters for my MSN). Please be a bit more civil and

  9. Why get an MSN?

    Nurse-Prestige replied to hpvarnad's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The higher the degree, the better. MSN is great because you can specialize (CRNA, NP, etc.), and you would have a lot more

  10. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are always exceptions. However, like i said many times, the trends are changing, and many hospitals/institutions are only hiring BSN degrees for the reason i mentioned, especially management...

  11. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    After all the time i spend posting why a BSN degree is a better degree (regardless when i became a member) and explaining the reasons behind it, i don't know why you would state that comment. If you...

  12. Other than BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to JenKnowles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    For the NP programs that I know, a BSN degree is required to apply to the NP

  13. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was referring to a management position (when i mentioned about the diploma certificate). Sorry for the confusion. Diploma certificate does not offer the leadership component that you learn in your...

  14. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I understand where you are coming from. However, with that logic, then all you need to be director or manager is a diploma with floor experience???? Again leadership is not only learning it on the...

  15. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Depending on the facility, some might consider these degrees. Most facilities require at least a BSN degree to be a manager or director. If you don't believe me, try searching management nursing job...

  16. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You gave the worst example. no disrespect intended. The minimum requirement should be (in my opinion) a BSN/MSN required for managers and directors. Of course, the managers and directors should be a...

  17. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think your taking this too personal for whatever reason. According to your logic, leadership is earned? then what is the point of higher degrees in nursing??? Learning detailed leadership nursing...

  18. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't know where all this came from? For stating that there is a reason for a higher degree. Wow , if anything, shows how insecure you are. The bottom line is that many facilities now accept...

  19. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Again, your not understanding the fact that there are REASONS for getting high degrees. ADN does not include nursing leadership courses, where an BSN and MSN do include them. Does it make sense now?...

  20. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When a floors DIRECTOR has only an associate degree, not a BSN or MSN, then i really question the competency of the facility and the people that run it. (BSN and MSN degrees include the leadership...

  21. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Managers having ADN? wow I Never heard of that. That is very rare. It does not make sense to me, and it's NOT logical that a manager would have a LOWER degree then many of her/his staff. That is...

  22. ADN vs. BSN

    Nurse-Prestige replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Many hospitals/companies only hire BSN now depending on where you live. You might find a place that will hire you with an ADN, like i said depends on the company and the area you live in. Go for...

  23. Doctor Anyone?

    Nurse-Prestige replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Between an MD and DNP, it takes about the same amount time (if your not including residency after the MD), i recommend you go for the MD if you like the indepth medical and clinical/residency...

  24. How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    Nurse-Prestige replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I think being a CNA before going to nursing school is really helpful. It allows you to work as a team and learn all the basic things that you would be doing as a CNA. It will also look GREAT on the...

  25. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

    Nurse-Prestige replied to panjeremy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Many Nurses are males. Everyone is treated equally (males and females). I think we should be passed this stage of asking how someone is treated because of their gender in a particular field. Being a...
