Do BSN's provide higher care than ADN's?

[texasmedicrnj]

yes or no

[FireStarterRN, BSN, RN]

I apologize in advance.

Since we recently passed a medical marajauna law in MI, perhaps we all can provide higher care.

Too right jlsRN, sorry.

Again, most feel that if entry level at the BSN was a minimum requirement, then the nursing shortage would amplify.

Yeah but that would drive up demand and hopefully our wages. Then we can make the big bucks!

No, it'll up your ratios and lead to a lot of part-timers and per diems to cut benefits.

I don't know that a particular degree matters as much as being a person who enjoys learning and continues to study the sciences behind nursing and keep abreast of best practices.

Where I live BSN and RN provide the same care, but you can only go into management if you have a Bachelors degree (not even necessarily in nursing).

This subject is a dead horse.

Most everyone, even those of us with BSN's agree that the difference between good nursing care and poor nursing care has nothing to do with the degree the nurse holds.

Some of us feel that the profession would be more respected by the public if entry level was at the BSN.

Bet you do not see another serious post that says anything new from the above.

Yeah.
