Between an ADN & a BSN?
The BSN (the BS, Bachelor in Science or Bachelor Degree in Nursing) focuses on care of the community, family systems, as well as individuals in the acute care setting. Emphasis is on a broader preparation in the sciences and an increased understanding of the health care delivery system. Leadership, problem-solving skills, and interpersonal skills are strong components at this level. BSN graduates receive a public health nurse certificate. In addition, they are able to work in the public school system, nursing education, and public health.
