ADN and BSN

basically that is right. ADN, you do the clinicals, and beside etc. but in obtaining your bsn, you have more classes over management and leadership type courses. thats it. basically.

I'm going to jump in & say it depends on the program. BSN programs do have management/research/leadership courses, but that's not to say that no ADN programs contain the same content, even if it's not taught in a formal class. It may be mixed in with content in other courses.

And there are BSN programs that are bedside-heavy and paperwork-light. So it is going to depend on the program. The school I went to (BSN) had a nice mix of both, I thought. I still didn't know my head from a hole in the ground as a new grad, but I don't blame it on the school. That's just being new.
