I've really been thinking letely that I want to drop my RN-BSN program, and I have a very limited time to make this decision. I am just not into it, and hate spending so much time sitting in front of my computer when I could be doing other things.
My question is: can I make it out there without the BSN? I'm 30 years old and have a BS in another area. I'm worried that I can never move up wihout all the new mandates for nurses in manager positions in my area to have a BSN and MSN. But I wonder...do I even really want to move up? I like what I do. I really do. Are there people out there like me who just want to be a staff nurse and anjoy it without moving up?
I know this is going to fall into the whole associates vs bsn degree and I don't want that. I'm looking more for people who have been in my position.
