An analysis of the three major types of basic nursing education would reveal to the student that the biggest difference in programs is that
a. ADN nurses lack the education in community health that other program graduates have.
b. BSN nurses are educated to work independently and enter leadership roles.
c. collegiate experiences in BSN programs ensure that graduates have a well-rounded education.
d. diploma graduates are trained to function under the supervision of a BSN nurse.
B
BSN programs include coursework in liberal arts, humanities, leadership, and management, enabling the BSN graduate to use sound critical thinking skills, to function independently as a generalist nurse, and to assume entry-level leadership roles.
Although ADN nurses do not usually have community health in their curricula, this is not the biggest difference among programs.
Associate degree programs are also offered in collegiate environments, including junior and community colleges and universities.
Diploma graduates were envisioned as complete bedside nurses. The ADN nurse is a technical nurse trained to function under direct BSN supervision.
