BSN pay vs.AD pay

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I love the discussions about who should get payed more and why. I'm a diploma grad from the 70's and then got my BSN in 1980. I went directly to a nurse manager position from nursing school( the diploma program). Got straight A' s in the BSN program. I didn't learn alot in it and churned out a bunch of papers. Most of what was taught to me I had already learned in that diploma program. I don't always think it's someone's ed level that is important. Mostly it's experience and what you do with it.I've known plenty of LPN's who were terrific nurses. They were knowledgable and great care givers. I've known some very advanced degree nurses that had no idea what to do with a patient. I think it's all individual who should get payed what and what thier position should be. Just because someone is a diploma grad or an AD nurse doesn't mean they can't be a better nurse manager than the BSN.
