A growing number of employers prefer BSN nurses to ADN nurses according to recent reports (Spetz and Bates, 2013). This indicates that hospitals consider nurses with a BSN to be more professional than nurses with an ADN. According to Spetz, there has been a

ADN vs. BSN Approaches to Patient Care ADN vs. BSN Approaches to Patient Care Associates prepared nurses are able to sit for the NCLEX as well as bachelors prepared nurses. They are both able to practice and perform many of the same skills and procedures. Their differences in clinical competencies are few, but their differences in critical thinking, decision making, communication, leadership, and management techniques and abilities, are many. The bachelors prepared nurse has received a higher and more in depth level of education in their field. This additional study and preparedness gives the bachelors prepared nurse the ability to understand not only the “what” and “how” of their clinical procedures, but also the

BSN vs. ADN in Nursing Grand Canyon University NRS-430V November 1, 2013 BSN vs. ADN in Nursing Through my research for this paper I have found that RNs who have an associate degree or diploma are more likely to make errors during clinical practice. Nurses who hold Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees have a stronger foundation in which to build better communication, leadership, critical thinking and problem solving skills. The high demands placed on today's nurses really challenge all of these skills on a daily basis. Nurses with Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees have a better understanding of the importance to be proficient in these skills. In a study of RN-to-BSN degree graduates from 1995 to

Competencies between BSN and ADN, RN Nurses There are numerous differences in competencies between BSN and ADN. Nursing is a dynamic profession and life long learning is essential for nurses to stay current with the increased complexity of the healthcare needs of today and into the future. In other words, the needs of our patients are changing, as we must change in order to be prepared to better serve that need.

Competency Differences Between RNs Prepared at ADN Versus BSN Level Grand Canyon: Professional Dynamics NRS-430V January 4, 2013 Competency Differences Between RNs Prepared at ADN Versus BSN Level Nursing education in the United States offers many levels of competency falling under the licensed title of registered nurse (RN). These levels offered in a continuum, begin with nursing as a vocation in the form of licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) followed by an associate degree (ADN), baccalaureate of science degree (BSN), masters of science degree (MSN) and doctorate. All have curriculums that build upon the previous designation in hopes of creating a highly

Associate Degree in Nursing versus Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing Grand Canyon University: NRS 430V May 1, 2011 There are two major educational pathways to become a Registered Nurse (RN): an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN). Typically, an ADN degree takes 2 years to complete while a BSN degree takes 4 years to complete. Both allow the nursing graduate to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) consequently allowing the graduate to enter the field of nursing as a Registered Nurse. It is important to discuss and understand the differences in educational preparation as well as resulting competencies for both degrees. Prospective nursing professionals are

Differences regarding competencies of an associate degree nurse and a baccalaureate degree nurse have long been discussed and argued. It has been argued that the associate degree nurse is less competent than the baccalaureate degree nurse. The difference among these competencies has also led to the discussion and concern regarding negative outcomes when it comes to quality patient care. “Quality patient care hinges on having a well educated work force” (Rosseter, 2011) With further research I have found that there are many differences in the competencies and educational preparation between these nurses. I was not aware of these differences until I further researched this topic. In the Journal of Nursing Education June 2006 issue it states

Differences in Competencies: BSN versus Diploma or ADN degree By Sissy Stephen November 4, 2017 Grand Canyon University Education increases both clinical competency and quality care. Associate degree in Nursing can be completed in three years. It was initially started to fill the shortage of nurses. BSN degree is four year nursing education and it helps the nurses to be well- rounded academically. ADN versus BSN have been in discussion for some time now. According to “HRSA’s 2013 report, titled The U.S. Nursing Workforce, found that 55% of the RN workforce held BSN or higher degree. In a separate study conducted by National Council of State Boards of Nursing found that 61% of RN workforce in U.S. was BSN or Higher degree”

Difference in Competencies between Associates vs. Baccalaureate Nurses Tara Garofalo Grand Canyon University: NRS-430V-0191 April 6, 2014 There has been much debate over the years about the differences in competencies between Associates Degree nurses (ADN) versus Baccalaureate Degree (BSN) nurses. In this paper I will discuss my findings and also give a patient care situation in which I describe how

BSN vs. ADN Competencies Competency is described as the ability or skill to perform tasks successfully and efficiently. Why do BSN graduates appear to be more competent than their ADN graduate counterparts? Although the answer is not fully understood, research has shown that facilities that have a higher BSN employed staff rate may have less mortality rates and better patient outcomes. According to a study by Linda Aiken in Europe on Nurse staffing and education, and mortality every 10% increase in the proportion of nurses with a bachelor 's degree reduced the likelihood of an inpatient dying within 30 days of admission by 7% (Alspatch JG, 2014, p. 10). This may be due to the fact that BSN graduates are exposed to more extensive and practical information that can be applied in the clinics than an ADN would have received from there program.

Running head: COMPETENCIES BETWEEN ADN AND BSN Competencies Between Associate Degree Nursing and Bachelor Degree Nursing Socorro L. Lufsey Grand Canyon University: Professional Dynamics NRS 430v February 12, 2012 Competencies Between Associate Degree Nursing and Bachelor Degree Nursing This paper will touch upon the educational requirements for the profession of nursing between Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) and Bachelor Degree Nursing (BSN).
