Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a BSN Degree?
You can become a Registered Nurse (RN) without a bachelor’s degree, but BSN-trained nurses have broader, higher-paying career options. For many career nurses, the extra step is well worth it, especially for the employment opportunities it can provide.
What is the difference between an RN and BSN?
An RN is a license, and 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. An Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) can be obtained in about two years, while a BSN degree often requires three or four years of study. This is because a BSN degree equips nurses with the tools and experience necessary to advance their careers.
