Paint me clueless, but..... I still haven't figured out the "difference" between BSN and ADN. Granted, I've only been a nurse for a year (ADN), but I started out in a BSN program about 18 years ago (whole other story). So far, the only difference I see is a whole lot of theory crap (amongst other b.s.) which is 'supposed' to make you a better nurse. I'm only about a semester from having an BSN if I chose to do it (started ADN with 119 credits and another AAS - ended ADN with a total of 176). I only lack (give or take) college level algebra, stats, theory, research, another humanities/fine arts and another psych/soc.
What can all this possible do for me which 20 years in hands-on medical of some sort hasn't taught me? I'm quite content where I'm at - have absolutely *zero* desire to be in management or have an AP license.
Any thoughts or theories (gotta love that word)
