    BSN- worth the extra time for little extra salary?

    Bob Loblaw replied to trebleclefmama's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The hospitals in my area will only hire ADN's if they sign a contract stating a BSN will be granted within so many years. After 12 months there is some tuition reimbursement and they have agreements...

    Are care plans valuable?

    Bob Loblaw replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I believe Nursing school "care plans" don't make much sense. When I had to do them content wasn't near as important as # of pages. The more pages you had the better your care plan (10 page care plan,...

    BSN- worth the extra time for little extra salary?

    Bob Loblaw replied to trebleclefmama's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The best program I ever heard of was at a private university ($$$). It was called 2+2, the first 2 years one did all the course work to sit for NCLEX and get RN, the second 2 years was spent doing the...

    Bob Loblaw replied to MKIVSupraRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
