Hi,I am applying to some ASN (RN) programs and I have completed a BA degree already. Are post BA RNs treated as BSNs in regards to job offers and salary? I know it is possible to do an accelerated BSN or BSN/MSN program, but I am thinking of going the ASN route for now because of its affordability.Thanks!
