If I may, why do you ask?

While many hospitals are BSN preferred, I'm not sure any are BSN only. Even hospitals in my area that say they will only hire BSN or those currently in a RN-BSN, they are still hiring ADN nurses under particular circumstances. Why does it matter?? Outside of management and third party organizations, a RN is a RN and they all passed the same test and got the same license.

Why does it matter to you if a hospital is BSN only....? I know of very good magnet hospitals that may say BSN preferred, but they still hire ADNs. If you're looking to work in a BSN only hospital, with the way the economy is you might not want to limit yourself that much because I don't know of many hospital that are strictly BSN only...

I am new to the nursing thing and am currently applying to an ADN program but what are the bsn's taught that the ADN's are not? What is the real difference? Besides the obvious and the bigger school loans??

Cedars is primarily hiring BSN only. Gook luck!

Nccity2001-are those BSN only or BSN preferred?foreverLauer-that distinction may not be necessarily true. My ADN program had leadership and management courses as requirements. We wrote research papers each semester, and utilized evidence based practice as basis for our research. We also had clinical rotations focusing on nursing management. Just wanted to offer that perspective!
