Has anyone applied or went to BHSN? I wanted to know what is the difference between getting a diploma in nursing opposed to an associates or a bachelors?

At BHSN you receive a "diploma" in nursing from them. Should you want your AS, they are affiliated with Fisher College where you would get your AS from.

There are very few diploma programs left, and BHSN is the last one in MA. The NCLEX pass rate was decent last year at 93% but dismal the year before at 85%.
To be very honest, I don't know where you could get a job with a diploma these days, and I would suspect you would need to continue on to an ADN to have a shot at a job. Maybe a current or former BHSN student could comment.
