From what I understand you can work, and do the same work with the same pay, on any floor/unit with a BSN or ADN. The only difference position wise is that most places want you to have a BSN or MSN to be a in management. You might need a BSN or MSN for research positions as well.
Thanks for your reply. I'm going for my ADN now, and I plan on doing the RN to BSN route after I start working. As for management, ummmm, don't think I'd want that! lol (who knows on down the line!) lol
Thanks 3rdSshiftGuy! My nephew has had several surgeries w/i the past year, and everytime I feel like I "belong" in either preop or postop. Good to know I can do that when I get my ADN! :balloons:

Can you work in the pre-op or post-op with a ADN, or do you have to have a BSN? ...Or is this a hospital specific thing?
...Just thinking about the future...I have to get through A and P first :chuckle
