I think that there are unattractive overweight smokers in every career path-- that's just part of our society. If most of our population is ignorant about diet/training and is overweight, then of course there are many nurses who would fit into that category. There are a lot of homely ignorant accountants too.

Ok Raina, Nessa I said I would not post on this thread again, but I need to apologize to you guys. Some of the best, good hearted nurses I have ever worked with were Assoc. degree. I meant no disrespect at all. I know LPNs more knowledable than drs. as well. This whole thread pissed me off. THose guys saying all nurses were fat white trash slobs. Most of the ones I know are none of those things. I'm sorry if I stepped on any toes. No disrespect intended at allRaina said:
I shouldn't have generalized. Good luck to you guys in school. I don't give a shit what these tools say, nursing is a proud and upstanding profession.Scarlett

I love hot nurses wearing those V neck Scrubs..
Especially when they lean over the bed to check you over..
I think many of you don't have a clue as to the amount of medical and technical skills nurses must have today.
It's no longer just taking vitals, changing sheets and bedpans.
They are required to know and do things today that only Dr. did in the past..

An ASN isn't the easy way out. the ASN degree is probably harder to do than the BSN degree. Its like saying using HIT instead of 8 sets is using the easy way out.
the professor at my school says only about 6% of ASN students get As in class. Meanwhile my friend who is getting her BSN say alot of studens are getting As. The same people i used to blow out of the water academically when i went to the same school/classes as them. Sucks because that means the door to graduate school will be more closed for those who get an ASN then transfer to a BSN because both the ASN & the transfer are harder than a straight BSN. on my 34 credit hours of prereqs i made straight As (and one B) with 1-2 hours of studying a week. Now i'm studying 12 or so hours a week and hoping to get at least a B average. During summer a year ago for a time i was in classes 27 hours a week and didn't study as hard as i am for 10 hours of nursing and my grades will be lower in this ASN program too.
If the transfer isn't super hard and my pre-reqs get added in then perhaps i can get into grad school if the issue comes up.

My girlfriend is an RN. With an ASN & 3 years experience her salary is quickly rising to what I make as an engineer. I've got 6 yrs exp. & a BS. I think one generalization that is safe to make about nurses is the awesome job security.
ASN's take the exact same same Licensing test as BSN's. They are the both "RN's" when all is said and done. To trivialize ASN's is absolutely unfair.
My girlfriend had a four year degree in psychology which after working worthless jobs for a few years realized how pretty much useless that degree was. She then applied, finally got into and completed her ASN. She told me that the girls and guys in her ASN classes worked harder than most any BSN's she knew when she went to University.
Most were older, more mature students (over 24) and not lazy 18-20 year olds who just wanted a quick easy degree. Many were single mothers who didn't have 4,5,6, years to waste starting over in University. Some were laid off techies who wanted a complete carreer change into something more stable. Many were like her with useless four year degrees. The consensus however, was that the people in that ASN program looked at it as their "last chance" and made the absolute most out of it. No partying like 18-21 y/o BSN students, No daddies money, no dating and boyfriends, no skipping classes, no BULLSHIT. They put their noses to the grindstone and made something of themselves.
During clinicals most students out of her class made such good impressions with the staff at many hospitals that they were able to get jobs there immediately after graduation. Many got jobs in the sought after and difficult units as ER, ICU, NICU, surgery, OR, etc. etc.
