Benefits to Consider: Getting Your B.S. in Nursing Degree
Over the last several years, the appreciation for nurses and healthcare workers has skyrocketed. One way we can empower these vital professions is by helping individuals increase their autonomy, earning potential, and more.
According to PayScale data, people who earned their Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) reported $16,000 more in average annual salary.
NurseJournal shares 10 reasons why RNs should pursue their B.S. in Nursing. Highlights of the benefits include:
People with their B.S. in Nursing hold greater autonomy over important decisions in caring for their patients. When nurses can take on more responsibility, it typically helps them serve their patients faster, as they no longer need to wait for someone else’s approval.
Nurses with a B.S. in Nursing are more marketable. As skilled nurses, there are more opportunities for advancing their careers and staying competitive.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing cites studies that show
- B.S. in Nursing graduates are “significantly” better prepared in 12 out of 16 areas of patient care relating to safety and quality
- A 10% increase of these nurses lowered the patient mortality odds by 10.9%
Education plays a crucial role in building key competencies. Are you interested in learning more about how to secure these benefits for yourself? Schedule a meeting with James Blake, our Enrollment Representative for Adult and Graduate Nursing programs.
