Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

After 32 years WITHOUT a BSN I have been thinking about the time I stop working so hard in the OR. Getting a BSN degree has crossed my mind and I am still weighing the advantages. I find very few legit reasons. I make more an hour and per year than probably 95% of upper management, even some with MSN and can't see stepping back a little to achieve this. Now, I am not saying having that BSN degree can't have it's advantage way down the road, but those who think they have much of an advantage over those with ADNs or even Diplomas are really fooling themselves. Any manager that would hire a BSN grad over a ADN just because of that higher degree, I wouldn't want to work for them. Experience is where you will get the nod over others, book smarts is nice but practical experience will open far more doors now adays. I have another 5 years to put more money in my retirement account then I want to scale back until I am 65. Then I can get SS and really cut back to just a day or two a week. I couldn't just walk away completely. Don't ever go into an interview with the opinion that, "I am a BSN grad and that puts me above all the rest"! You will go down in splendid flames. Good luck though.

Well, we're talking about new grads, not people with experience. A person with a BSN may have used their critical reading skills to figure that out ;-)
