A nurse faculty member is speaking to prospective students to the BSN program at their educational institution. Which of the following is a major incentive for students to select a BSN program over an ADN program?
1. Ability to work in critical care areas
2. Easier transition to graduate school
3. Better opportunity for career advancement
4. Liberal arts education
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The nurse who holds a baccalaureate degree enjoys greater autonomy, responsibility, participation in institutional decision making, and career advancement. A liberal arts education is also a positive point, though not as major an incentive. RNs, regardless of their education level, can work in critical care areas. There are some programs offering RN to MSN completion studies at this point in time.
