A nurse faculty member is speaking to prospective students of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at their educational institution
Which is a major incentive for students to select a BSN program over an Associate Degree in Nursing (and) program?
Select all that apply.
A) Greater autonomy in the practice setting
B) Liberal arts education
C) Easier transition to graduate school
D) Ability to work in critical care areas
E) Better opportunity for career advancement
Answer: A, E
The nurse who holds a baccalaureate degree enjoys greater autonomy, responsibility, participation in institutional decision making, and career advancement. RNs, regardless of their education level, can work in critical care areas. There are some programs offering RN to MSN completion studies, but the ease of transition is not the ultimate incentive, which is career advancement. Having a liberal arts education is also a plus, although not as major an incentive for career advancement.
