BSN Salary/Hourly Pay?

[BeagleBabe]

Hello,

I just read on another thread that if you get your BSN, you are paid a salary instead of hourly pay. Is this accurate? I have to choose between an ASN and a BSN, and this could make the choice for me. I'm currently paid a salary, and I hate it because I get paid the same money whether I work 40 hours or 70 hours. They like to make me work nights occasionally, and I can't say no! I want to be paid hourly so I can pick up overtime and choose when and if I work.

Please tell me I can be paid hourly with a BSN!!! I'm interested in working in Sarasota FL, and upstate NY.

No, what you heard is not true.

It depends on your employer. There is no across the board BSNs are paid salary while ASNs are paid hourly. At my institution, all RNs are paid the same (not the same rate, but the same form of payment), regardless of degree.
