    CityKat replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    CityKat replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in California Nursing

    Does a BSN earn you more in Northern CA

    CityKat replied to vivicaq's topic in California Nursing

    I think eventually the hospitals here will pay more for a BSN. Maybe not, but in NYC, they're paying more for BSN vs. ADN. It's between $1200 and $2000 per year. Nothing really. Many of the...
