Is it easier to get a job as a New-grad RN with BSN?

[sail2boat2002]

Hi guys..

This is my first posting at allnurses.com so I am really excited.:redbeathe I heard from my college professor that a new grad with ADN degree will have harder time finding a job than a new grad with BSN degree. Is that true? I also heard that a new grad who just graduated from UW Seattle nursing had job lined for her even before she graduated.. I am considering going ADN route but that made me rethink about if I should really go for ADN instead of BSN.

Does it make a difference if you have a BA degree from a four year school?

I appreciate you opinions in advance...

Thankx :)

some hospitals only hire BSN nurses. it is a wonderful degree to have because if gives you a lot more flexibility in your career, if you want to work in other roles, or even in a different field....plus, then you can continue your education etc. what is your end goal? what will it take to get there? what is the shortest/cheapest/convenient route for your plan? map it out!

good luck!
