[NPInfo] MSN in Leadership

Sue--
Please tell your students that along with the skirt, they must have a navy
blue sweater to wear with it. Otherwise, they're just nothing!  LOL

My RN to BSN students call "leadership" RNs "skirt nurses." Must be the new
version of blue sweater nurses. Of course, once they earn their BSN, they
will be eligible to become skirt nurses, if they want :)

<br><br>OMG! It's an advanced degree for the nurses from Dena's past that
she describes as always walking around the hospital with a clip board, a
navy blue sweater, and perfectly manicured nails. "Advocate, synthesize, and
coordinate" sounds like a job for those sweatered nurses from Dena's past
who had nothing to do except look for ways in which other nurses could get
more work done. ROFL!!!<br> <br> <br>Best Regards,<br> <br>Shelby Havens,
