As mentioned above in the “Why Should I Get a BSN” section, there is a strong demand for BSN-prepared RNs. For the most part, the increased salary prospects from earning a BSN are the additional roles you’ll qualify for. Depending on where you work, it’s possible you could get a raise for earning a BSN while continuing in your current role.
PayScale says BSN-prepared nurses make $12K more per year than ADN nurses. The difference can add up over time.
