Unfortunately, I've never heard of a place giving BSNs giving shift preference over ADNs, and there's not really any good reason for them to do so.

Having said that, you might find that there are places that need dayshift nurses. It's not always a foregone conclusion that newbies work nights.

Good luck. I started out unable to handle nights, and now I love them. They screw up my sleep schedule, but I'm adjusting.
