I don't understand your question. A BS in Nursing is a BSN.

A BSN and a BS with a major in nursing are essentially the same thing. However, the actual title of the degree is different. If you get a BS with a major in nursing -- usually written as BS(Nursing) -- then you should not write your name as Jane Doe, BSN, RN because that would not be technically correct.

Ask your school what the appropriate way to write the name of the degree you earn from that school.

The exact official title of an academic degree depends on the school itself and what they are authorized to confer. The exact way they title their degrees depends on their traditions, the organization of their school, etc.
