In my opinion, there are many people out there with the titles BSN, ADN, LPN that only got them because they were good at retaining high levels of information that an instructor threw at them, and they were able to spit it back out at least 75% correctly on a test. By having a title behind your name in most any position does not make you an expert in your field. I'm sure most of you can think of instances where an ADN could have, or has done, a far better job than an RN, and vice-versa. What really should be said here is that you need to figure out what it is that you want to accomplish and then get the proper education for it. If money generates your enthusiasm for education, than perhaps the BSN program will be a stepping stone to that goal. With that being said, it's saddening to see that what was once a mission of mercy has now become a mission of money.
