why BSN over ADN???

Nursing Students ADN/BSN

Published

looking at the statistics, ADN's have a higher NCLEX pass rate than BSN's. I was at a job fair in passadena, ca and felt totally dissed when the speaker explained how they put BSN on top of the application pile. WHY? for what? we all take the same test right? you mean to tell me that employers dont even care about the individual and their skills ect... only what looks good on paper??? i am becoming bitter towards this entire profession.

Danni426,

I think that depends..I know some girls that were in my ADN program that had their BS from their previous careers and used it on their applications to the "magnet" hospitals and got jobs. They said the hospitals didn't care the BS wasn't in Nursing, just that they had it and that helped them get the job. So I would use it to your advantage when applying. It helps show you have other experiences that you can bring into nursing and their units.
