  1. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand your argument, but I still disagree. It's similar to the argument that a Labor and Delivery nurse must first work in med/surg for a certain period of time ("pay her dues"). I went...

  2. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    Eww. That would have been a major deterrent for me. Wouldn't that be the same as mandating that in order to get accepted to medical school, you must first be a nurse? Or to get into law school, you...

  3. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I see this thread is starting to turn into once again, people justifying their education choices. If I recall, this thread was about what Master's prepared nurses can do, not the education received by...

  4. Assessment of Educational Level

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    Assessment of educational level is a practice standard in most hospitals (or should be). It's not the sole factor in determining how to educate a patient, but it's part of a complete learning needs...

  5. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    An MSN is useful depending on what you want to do. Not everyone wants to be a nurse practitioner. An MSN is simply a Masters Degree in Nursing which still keeps doors wide open. You need that to be a...

  6. When One Child Is Enough

    Q. replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, it was you I was addressing and yes, I did read your entire post. I read it again after your post to me and I now understand the parallel you were making. So, I apologize. I see exactly the...

  7. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't forward or copy and paste emails; I would ask the authors of the letters to generate an original letter, on school/company letterhead with their original signature. You can then make...

  8. When One Child Is Enough

    Q. replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My husband and I ALSO are not interested in adoption whatsoever. We want a child that has our biological make-up and is a part of US. I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now and I'm...

  9. What degree/certification do you hold?

    Q. replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    BSN, RN. Currently in my last year of my MSN. :balloons: Will most likely stop

  10. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    Oooh that program sounds interesting! I think your question is if you can still do direct patient care with an MSN. Absolutely. The nursing profession, currently, doesn't seem to place much emphasis...

  11. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks

  12. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    As far as the abstract, since I haven't began collecting data so far, should I just provide what I have so far? Title, question, background, etc? Thanks so much for your advice; it is extremely...

  13. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for the suggestion, llg. Actually, I have a few more questions. I guess I'm not even certain what to include. I've designed a few original marketing/branding logos for specific education...

  14. Professionalism and Nurses

    Q. replied to Dixiedi's topic in General Nursing

    Even if the OP was the stupidest person on earth with no formal schooling and dug ditches for a living, she, as a patient has the right to comment on how they feel they are being treated by ANYONE....

  15. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for the replies and based on your feedback, I'm going to assemble one! My interview is next week Wednesday (for 4 hours!) Thank you for the well

  17. Professionalism and Nurses

    Q. replied to Dixiedi's topic in General Nursing

    OMG.

  18. Professionalism and Nurses

    Q. replied to Dixiedi's topic in General Nursing

    That's kinda a tough statement in light of the fact that this was her dad. A patient and/or family has every right to expect to be called by whatever name they prefer- decided by them and not the...

  19. Professionalism and Nurses

    Q. replied to Dixiedi's topic in General Nursing

    Professionalism and nursing. A hot button issue for me. Not that nurses need to act formal and stiff 100% of the time to their patients; after all, to many patients the hospital or LTC is their home....

  20. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, there are times when I truly value nurses in non-bedside positions; those nurses who truly may have the influence and power to change things simply by virtue of their autonomy in their...

  21. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle Probably when I'm done with school I'll have a better attitude about it. Right now taking summer session classes makes me feel like it's NOT worth it! But I do enjoy most aspects of my...

  22. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle Yup. Pretty much. I'm an MSN candidate currently in a position that requires an MSN. I'm a Nurse Educator. Other jobs that I see for Master's prepared nurses are the following: All...

  23. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    Q. replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    For the record, I'm personally not that bent on a BSN. I'm all for ANY 4 year degree for nurses. But since the BSN is a bachelor's degree with a major in nursing, which is the profession we are...

  24. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    Q. replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, we definitely disagree. I can't draw any comparisons or parallels to an adult taking a college course and a kid playing video games. Just can't. In fact, I can definitely say that college...

  25. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    Q. replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    Of course a BSN program is and should be focused on nursing; afterall it is a major. There are so many nursing credits that are awarded in a BSN program; other credits that are mandated via the...
