Pumpkin Horror Costume Shirt

Listen, I have a BS in another field (obviously a science) as well as my Pumpkin Horror Costume Shirt. Being in a BSN completion program now is painful. A LOT of the material is a rehash from my previous degrees or could be provided in a quicker, cheaper fashion. I personally think that if you hold a bachelors already there should be a better way to meet the BSN requirement– one that saves money and time, but conveys the important content they think is missing from the other two degrees. I seriously had to waste an entire class learning about online learning!

Me too! I have a BS and an ADN. I refuse to go to the local “BSN diploma mill” for another BS degree. I had a BS in 1978 in another field. Then years later did LPN, ADN, BSN completion and MS. I thought there were bridge programs now to avoid having to do what I had to do?  Susan Johnson Dust the BSN itself holds nothing special that can’t be matched by having a degree in another area. In fact, diversity of education should be required (it once was an indicator of elite upbringing).

Why keep studying the same thing over & over again? There’s so much more out there! Yes, I have several different degrees right up to my Masters, and that has done more to enhance my practice than continuing with one-track curricula. To each their own. Susan Johnson Dust there are some bridge programs now, but unfortunately I was not advised/ didn’t know that there would be such a strong push for a BSN. In my naivety, I thought having a BS already would be fine and I could then do a BSN-MSN bridge after I started working.

Turns out, I wanted more work experience to focus my Masters level education better, plus I heard too many horror stories about being shunned or losing work for not having an outright BSN. So I decided it would be better to do RN-BSN program first then MSN later.Rene Hodrick be careful what you say we have more than one nurse with BS in other health related fields that are eliminated from certain positions because it’s not a BSN it is crap but it is happening.

Worked for 43 years as an RN, and I agree…all the places I worked required BSN for management jobs. I just retired this year, but all the places in this state (Mass) are pushing for all nurses to have a BSN. Evidence-based practice is important, but so is compassion, caring, and empathy. Noticed that was not treated as important as the science part these days. The main problem today is nurses are overworked all over the country, hospitals are run like a business, admit them, get them discharged as fast as possible so you can admit more.

Kinda hard to be caring and such when you have 7-8 pts at once. Glad I am done, but proud I did a Pumpkin Horror Costume Shirt for so many years. Emily Hall thank you for all of your hard work, compassion, and dedication to the profession!! Absolutely something to be proud of heart. Thank you Katie Lynn. Went thru many changes, many staffing issues, lots of politics, etc. But always stayed at bedside nursing. Only been 5 months, but feeling 100% better already.
