Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a BSN Degree?
Nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree typically receive higher salaries, coveted leadership roles, and a wider variety of jobs. A 2016 study from Nurse Journal found that, of 187,000 nursing jobs posted over a 90-day period, BSN holders were eligible for 88% of those jobs, while RNs with associate’s degrees were only eligible for 51% of them.
What is the difference between an RN and BSN?
An RN is a license, while a BSN is a degree. To become a licensed RN, the first step is to enroll in a pre-licensure nursing program. Some programs lead to an associate degree and some to a BSN degree. While an ADN degree takes about two years of study, a BSN degree usually requires three or four years. A BSN degree involves a higher level of study, allowing RNs to advance their careers and earn a variety of benefits.
