Dispel a rumor OR validate a truth...

Hello Everyone -
Hope everyone is well. I am humbly requesting insight on a matter that was brought to my attention today.

I heard that when hospitals (or other relevant employers) are reviewing resumes for RN's, they would go with the candiate with a BSN and not with a ADN or ASN. I can understand the latter, however, for someone like me who already holds a BA in Psych and a MBA (don't ask), I cannot justify going back to school for another bachelor's degree, granted I am open minded to it if it will help me at the end of the day.

I had surgery this past summer, and I found the opportunity to chat with the nurse who was in charge of my post-op care. I told her about my situation, and she told me she has a BA in history and an ADN from the community college where I'm taking my pre-reqs at. I asked her if her employer is requesting she get a BSN, and she replied "no", and I recall her saying that as long as you have a bachelors degree (nursing or otherwise), you would be a good candidate. (Note: This nurse is employed by a reputable academic health system in West Los Angeles for many years, so I feel she has some credibility.)

So, assuming that I have graduated with a ADN, passed my licensure/boards, and a hiring manager is comparing my resume with another candidate with a BSN only, who will be courted with a job offer?

Any insight advice will be appreciated. I'm given a second opportunity to delve into a new career, and I want to do it right.

Thanks in advance,
GP
