BScN? BN? What's the difference?

The number of credit hours from science faculties determines whether your program is a BScN or BN. In the end it's all the same if you're going to be a nurse.

Not one bit..............

Once upon a time I asked this very question. I contacted the CNA, and the explanation I received was essentially as follows:

"...One degree is called a BN and another is called a BscN..they are both the same thing." They all follow the same curriculum set by the CNA and provincial legislation.

Many nursing programs fall under a university's science faculty, as a result the degree is a BSc(N). For Universities which have an independent faculty of nursing, the degree awarded is a BN. Makes sense to me!

This is my understanding anyway.
