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.
You're an RN regardless of whether you pursue the ADN or the BSN first (as long as you pass the nclex). In most places you start at the same base pay too. The BSN will prepare you for management or future graduate studies. But RN's are RN's, doesnt matter what program they came from! Babs0512 likes this.
