Having a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing will be a waste of time since you have to add more years to study in college. “Roughly 40% of the nearly 3 million registered nurses (RNs) in the United States have an associate's degree (ADN) as their highest level of nursing education (Nursing Economics David I. Auerbach)”. There are many people who did not pursue that goal, instead they earned their LPN degree. Earning a LPN could lead to working any ’medical/ caretaker’ facilities. Many people started working in nursing home nor hospitals that only earned their RN. It would take a lot of time earning a BSN, why not just work after earning a LPN. …show more content…
Graduating with a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing ( BSN) could give you a higher chance to be hired in medical facilities for your future jobs.
Many hospitals have hired people who have earned a BSN because they have learned and studied longer which given them a chance to developed the skills. “The results of Aiken et al.s research indicate that in hospitals with a 10% increase in the proportion of nurses with BSN degrees, there was a decreased risk of patient death and failure to rescue by 5%” ( Megginson 53). According to Megginson quote which does indicate that developing skills in school could lead to being hired in hospital which you could increase your patient's survival in the
hospital.
Graduating with a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing can give you a ‘professional identity’ in the future. “The participants defined credible professional identity as the inherent respect, based on educational level, conferred to BSN or higher level educated RNs. The participants also described the belief that a BSN will be required for professional and upper management-level positions, those other than clinical staff nurse positions ( Megginson 50)”. Megginson indicate that when you earned a BSN, you are considered more professional and respected in front of the RN, and since you have developed more skill, people look up to you like a teacher. Many people whom earned a BSN, they have become teacher who taught new RN or BSN students.
Some people believe that earning a Baccalaureate degree will be a waste of time, but there are also benefits which are you can earn the title of graduating with a Baccalaureate Degree which are developing more skills and also earning the title of ‘professional identity’.When received a Baccalaureate degree of Nursing, the next step is find jobs that will hire you. There are some people think that just transferring to a four- year university will be a waste of time, after graduating with a LPN we can start work a little early than going to school. I think it will not be bad to receive BSN, it might seem like a waste of money but at least you can earn a BSN just by studying and attending class and also the people that is part of the community are my resources, to find what I field that I would like to pursue.
