Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

I've read on numerous occasions that most hospitals preferred a candidate have a BSN as opposed to an ADN but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll give a position to a BSN trained nurse before they would the ADN trained nurse. I personally if I were in HR would give the position to whomever presented themself better during their interview. Just because you have a BSN doesn't necessarily mean you know more than a person with an ADN.

If all hospitals were to hire ONLY BSN nurses...which I seriously doubt will ever happen, too many community and junior colleges would lose a TON of money because then there would be no reason to pursue an ADN degree. I personally know a ADN graduate who was hired in the ER at a local community hospital and she's making more than the BSN trained nurses at my 900+ bed hospital.
