I'm sure there are many threads on this already, but I cannot find any recent ones at least. Can anyone share their experience as a BSN prepared nurse. I mean people that had their RN first, then went on for your BSN. Did you change positions? Get promoted? Increase in pay? Just curious. I know it all depends on where you work, which field, and amount of experience. Just want to hear some real-life stories. Thanks in advance :)

I'm almost finished with my BSN; does that count? No I will not receive an increase in salary, or change in my position. I'm already a charge nurse.

The only thing that will change is that I am *finally* eligible for the clinical ladder. Sure, ASNs are eligible, but it is literally impossible to attain for an ASN, since a BSN gets so many points on the ladder. So now I can actually possibly qualify to get a small, yearly bonus.

more eligible to apply to magnet hospitals, but competition remains fierce. You can also apply to grad schools. Pay is only slightly higher.
