1160 S Providence Rd. Richmond, VA 23236. (804) 276-1865. I consider Providence a most excellent (public) course.....efficiently operated, always friendly (staff) and a great location. I agree it is a little expensive but, you get what you pay for (very predictable).
Payscale.com finds that there are large differences in salary for people with only an RN, compared to a BSN. 2014 data shows that an RN earns a median of $39,100, while a BSN holder earns $69,000:ducation Requirements. Earning your RN with a diploma program usually is a one or two year process. Getting your BSN straight out of high school will take four years. The advantage to earning your RN with a diploma program is that it does not take as much time as a BSN.
Money is always a motivator. The pay increase for a BSN versus an ADN is not too spectacular, unless you move up the ladder in your company. Those nurses with BSNs in management will make more money just because they are in a management role. As for a staff nurse though, BSNs and ADN graduates are comparable usually.
