Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Demand remains extremely high for all registered nurses, 如果你获得了副学士学位, pass the NCLEX and meet the board of nursing requirements in your state, you’re one of them.
Nurses with bachelor’s degrees may have an advantage in earning a nursing position at a hospital (especially hospitals seeking Magnet status), but nurses are currently in such high demand many healthcare organizations are eager to hire ASN nurses.
The biggest difference between a diploma in nursing and an 副学士护理课程 is that students in an associate degree program take college courses, and students in a diploma program do not. Earning a 实用护理文凭 takes less time than an associate degree (our program can be completed in as few as 12 months). Associate degree programs can take around 2 years to complete and prepare students for licensure as a registered nurse.
The advantage of an associate degree program is you can qualify to become an RN and get a head start on further education—your college course credit can potentially transfer into an online RN to BSN or RN to MSN program should you choose to advance your education in the future.
The advantage of a diploma program is you can get starting working in nursing faster as an 执业护士(持牌护士) and more quickly discover if nursing is the right career for you.
Because nurses with a BSN have earned that next degree level and generally have the edge on the job market, they will on average earn a slightly higher salary than nurses with an ASN. However, there are always exceptions; an ASN with several years of an experience may earn a higher salary than an RN with a BSN who is just starting their career.
- ASN:护理学副学士
- 护理学副学士学位
- AASN: Associate of Applied Science in Nursing
For the purposes of being eligible for the NCLEX exam and becoming a registered nurse, there isn’t much of a difference between these types of degrees.
In general, higher education institutions determine the terminology to use based on the nature of their program and what they emphasize as a priority.
作为一个以职业为中心的组织, Herzing University stresses the importance of real, engaging coursework to prepare you for a job in the field—so we offer an Associates of Science in Nursing (ASN) at our Birmingham, Nashville, Orlando, and Tampa campuses, and our Akron campus offers an Associates of Applied Science in Nursing (AASN).
We also offer an 在线护理课程助理 适用于美国部分地区的居民.S. states.
Compare ADN vs. BSN和发现的区别 between the two undergraduate degree paths for nurses.
It’s a question of:
- What your goals are
- 你想多快到达他们那里
If your goal is to go from LPN to RN quickly, the best choice may be an associate’s degree program since you may be able to become an RN in less than 2 years.
If your goal is to become an RN and potentially advance further by working towards a master’s degree in nursing (MSN), your best option is a bachelor’s degree in nursing program.
