    Re: CWS

    So, smart azzes aside, is there a link that someone CAN hold up as the definitive proof that Tech is indeed the #1 nursing school?

    Probably not.

    This kind of crap happens all the time. NSU just boasted about being the #1 on-line school in the nation and {drum roll} produced some site from the Internet that listed NSU as the best. Must be true if it's on the Net, right?

    Oh, Tech got an award! Great! But, schools, professors, programs, etc...get awards all the time. My wife got an award for her PhD dissertation: Best in the Nation (2003)! We traveled to California for a swanky awards' ceremony. Yep, I was a witness, she did get the award for BEST dissertation that year! Best in the nation!! Wonder how many PhD dissertations were completed that year. Many thousands, I'm sure.

    Not to belittle my wife's accomplishment (I am VERY proud of her), but the truth is it is an organization she is paying-member of, that gave her that award. She was competing against, as I recall, 30 others, who were members of that organization who earned their PhD in 2003. It is a nationwide organization with chapters in every state, and thousands of members, true. Still a nice accomplishment and award. But, it would be disingenuous to claim she had the BEST in the nation, when many dissertations never had a chance to be judged by that organization.

    So...I ask again....is there a link that definitively proves Tech has the best nursing school in Louisiana?

    Just say, for the second year in a row, the Nightingale Organization voted Tech's nursing school the best in Louisiana. That is a factual statement, that organization did.

    For the record, I don't hold up NSU's programs in any esteem. Their nursing school has suffered some setbacks in status and prestige the past 5 years or so. I don't know why, but it has. It is true other schools in Louisiana have both some good programs and some not-so-good programs.

    And, it is equally true we have some posters on this board that view the world thru red & blue glasses and everything Tech is GREAT!! and everything non-Tech sucks! That has gotten tiring...

    Do Associate RN's take a different NCAT than Bachelor RN's? Do Grambling or nlulm RN's make more in Louisiana starting out?

    nlulm nursing grads do quite well in Texas. Texas is BEGGING for 4-year degreed RNs. My step-daughter said at her initial interview 13 years ago, the hospital asked her if she had a contact at nlulm and could they send more to their San Antonio market of 8 hospitals. "We got 2-year degreed RNs out of the ying yang and they can't go into administration without going back to school to get a business degree."

    Re: CWS

    My sister ran into that. She earned her LPN by attending Charity School of Nursing and then worked her obligatory one year at that hospital. After that she got on at Ochsner's and was doing fine, enjoying her work, making good money, but then she aspired to move up. She couldn't w/o a BS degree. She came up here to look into NSU's program, as it was considered the best in the state, at that time. Eventually she enrolled at LSU, because it was closer. But she was assaulted just off campus one evening, in the parking lot of a grocery store, and that soured her on remaining in BR. She transferred to William Carey College, taking night classes, and completed her BS in Nursing. She then began getting promotions and all kinds of opportunities.

    After 10-15 years working as a nursing supervisor, she looked for another career challenge. Attended Xavier University and became a nurse-anesthetist, which she is currently doing in the Hammond-Independence area.

    Associate degrees in nursing are okay, for starters, but it puts a ceiling on careers.
