I am curious to know what anyone out there thinks about this...
This hospital I work at (a large corporation) has a policy of not offering extra pay for nurses who have higher degrees (BSN vs ADN/ASN). When asked why this is the case, the DON informed me that there is absolutely no literature showing that a BSN is any better or more skilled as a nurse than an ASN/ADN. They do, however, give a $3/hr raise to nurses certified in their area.
