	Is it harder to land a job with just an ADN? I was wanting to return back to college to get a degree in nursing since I'm currently a Laser Tech/Esthetician. I've tried to search the differences between an ADN and a BSN. BSN's usually go on to their masters and specialize in something, correct? Or are they the baseline just to land a RN job nowadays? I would just want to be a baseline RN, just to be able to safely administer injectables in the state of Texas (even though they still require a sign off). I would also use this to be a more well rounded skin specialist and laser tech. The thing is if I wanted to work as a RN, would it be harder for me to land a job simply because of only going for ADN? Or is the difference negligible. Obviously I would think a BSN would be chosen over an ADN, but what if there weren't enough applicants? Wanted to know the opinions of those already in the nursing field. Thank you in advance! 3 answers - Asked By: Jesse - 1/5/2013

	In your opinion: Is it better to get my ADN, get a RN job, then continue to receive my BSN? Rather than getting my BSN and then getting a RN job? I have heard that hospitals will pay for my BSN or offer a program to get my BSN. Is this correct? 1 answer - Asked By: Sarah - 2/20/2009

	After someone completes a 2-yr Registered Nurse (RN) program, where would they find employment? I would like to know if hospitals would employ someone who just completed an RN program, or if additional certification is needed (CPR, ACLS)? When I was looking at RN job listings, most hospitals and other companies want someone with at least 1-2 years of experience. Where would recently-graduated RNs find employment? I am starting my RN program in the fall, so I would like to know. Thank you!! 4 answers - Asked By: julesxoxo - 4/13/2011
