Why get a B.S. in nursing?


Let's begin with a basic question: Is a B.S. in nursing the same as a BSN?

In terms of academic content, degree, and global acceptance, yes, they are the same thing. New York state requires that B.S. in nursing, or B.S., RN, be used to identify the degree.

The places you can go with a BSN

A bachelor's degree in nursing will deepen your understanding of issues that affect patient care and enrich your professional development.

Upon graduation, you are encouraged to sign your name with B.S., RN. When attending conferences or in agency settings, however, you may see a placard or name tag with BSN after your name, since that is the nationally recognized title. 


Three reasons for getting your B.S. in nursing


1. Job security

In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine) recommended that nurses be baccalaureate prepared. Since then, this has been used by healthcare agencies nationwide to set the bar, with many listing nursing positions as BSN preferred or having associate prepared nurses sign contracts requiring them to achieve that degree within 3-5 years or face termination.

This is especially seen in hospitals pursuing Magnet or Pathway to Excellence status. In 2017, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation requiring future nurses graduating from associate degree or diploma nursing programs to obtain a baccalaureate in nursing within 10 years of initial licensure.

2. Quality of patient care

In 2010, an Institute of Medicine report called for 80 percent of the nursing workforce be baccalaureate-prepared by 2020, noting that higher degrees in nursing yield significant benefits for patients, employers and communities.

A 2013 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation report found that 鈥溾 10 percent increase in the proportion of BSN-educated care was associated with a 10 percent reduction in the odds of mortality.鈥 

The reasons for this are multifaceted, but ultimately, bachelor鈥檚 programs include more content on patient safety measures, patient satisfaction tactics, quality care skills, interdisciplinary practice, and leadership development.


3. Career mobility and pay

By achieving a Bachelor of Science in nursing, registered nurses are qualified candidates for many current and emerging roles within health care organizations. Additionally, baccalaureate prepared registered nurses are able to apply for graduate education to elevate their practice in roles such as nurse practitioners, nurse managers, nurse educators, and nurse midwives.

Additionally, a BSN prepared nurse could earn upwards of $90,000 when compared to an ADN nurse who makes an average of $75,000.

Clinical quote full width1. True student-centered approach

The RN to B.S. in Nursing program is a hybrid program, offering students face-to-face and online/distance-education instruction. Clinical hours are student-centered through one-on-one discussions and placement to not only meet clinical objectives, but personal ones as well.

2. Grow into a technology savvy consumer

With the hybrid approach, students are exposed to online courses, modules, and virtual simulation. Technology is the way of healthcare鈥檚 future, and it is found in many graduate school programs, so it is the mission of the nursing faculty at St. Bonaventure to prepare B.S. in nursing graduates to be savvy consumers for current practice and future academic endeavors.

Course content is also focused on technology, with two classes dedicated to developing skills in nursing informatics and evidence-based practice.

3. Emotional intelligence

A big piece that sets this program apart from others is a focus on emotional intelligence. Threaded throughout the program, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management lessons and activities work to prepare RNs to become their best selves.

In 2017, a research study showed 鈥溾hat training in emotional intelligence abilities may increase job satisfaction and decrease burnout.鈥 (Jung Lee, p. 1)

Graduates are guided to complete assignments that hone inter- and intra-personal skills that can be immediately applied to combat driving factors behind nurse turnover.
