What qualifies as a BSRN?Rating: (votes: 8) You'd be an ADN with a BS in bio. You need to complete the additional nursing classes in the BSN program to be considered BSN. Comment: Nursing education is done via "programs" rather than a series of classes that are interchangeable between schools. All accredited programs have to include the same basic content, but they may choose to do it in radically different ways & may include a lot of extra material as well. In addition, In the US, there is no "R" in a nursing degree because the R means "Registered" and this only comes when you have passed your licensure examination (NCLEX) and this process is managed by each state's Board of Nursing - not by schools. So we list our educational and licensure credentials separately - "BSN, RN or ADN, RN" But don't worry, you will be able to find many "bridge" RN to BSN programs designed to meet your needs.Comment: Quote from overtheriverI'm a bit curious about what exactly qualifies as a BSRN. After this spring semester I'll be graduating with a bachelors in biology with a pre-med minor and in spring of 2014 I'll also have an associates degree in nursing. With the bachelors in biology, would my associates in nursing be looked at as a BSRN, or would I still need to finish a BSRN completion program?
