Going from ADN degree to BSN degree

Nursing Students ADN/BSN

Published

My questions are...do any of you have a BSN degree? If not, do you plan on getting a BSN degree eventually?

For those of you that have a BSN, has it brought about better opportunities? Pay?

I obtained my BSN this year and I feel it is a scam to go back and get this degree unless you plan on going to grad school.

Employers do not need to offer a monetary incentive to prospective applicants with a BSN because they have too many prospective applicants who meet their minimum education requirements.

I just finished my B.S.N. this week, so I am not sure if it will pay off, but I am sure hoping.

I didn't get it for any money increase though, I got it in hopes it would increase job prospects since most hospitals in this area either require BSN or require to to be in school for it. I am still in my 30s so I have MANY years of work ahead of me and I need some job security!

I got it because around here EVERY job I see has BSN preferred or required. I didn't want to be locked out of a job because of it.
