Take your RN further by earning an online Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Nurses with a BSN qualify for more jobs2 and earn higher salaries3 than nurses with only an associate degree. They also are in higher demand, as hospitals recognize the role of BSN nurses in achieving quality and patient-care goals. In fact, the highly respected Institute of Medicine called for 80 percent of all RNs to have a BSN.
