Career Paths

Nursing is a career with endless opportunities, and your credentials can highlight your professional path from amongst a maze of options. Having a BSN under your belt provides a greater variety of job options. A nurse with a BSN may do the same things as an RN or may choose to further study and move into administration or be a nurse educator. When it comes to salary, an RN is an RN — the 2016 median pay for an RN was $68,450, . An RN with a BSN can expect to earn slightly more than an RN with an associate's degree, but perhaps the bigger opportunity for higher earning potential comes in the form of the specializations or managerial roles that become available further down on the career path of a BSN holder.
