[TheCommuter, BSN, RN]

ADN = associate degree in nursing

BSN = bachelor of science in nursing

MSN = master of science in nursing

DNP = doctor of nursing practice

The ADN and BSN degrees are the two main entry points to becoming an RN. You are eligible for licensure as an RN if you complete the ADN program. Or you can bypass the ADN, and become eligible for RN licensure after completing a BSN program.
