Across the nation, the majority of RNs with a baccalaureate degree typically make more money than nurses with an associate degree or nursing diploma. Because of the skills and experience they acquire during a bachelor’s degree program, RNs tend to face a higher chance of being employed in specialty medical offices and surgical hospitals that pay more money. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)reports that registered nurses working in Louisiana typically earn a median salary of $61,260.
The student that earns a BSN degree by taking online courses or attending classes on a college campus gains an education centered on how to administer effective, compassionate nursing care. Nowadays, an increasing number of healthcare professionals are exploring their options in distance learning so that they may enjoy a more flexible schedule while still being able to work while taking classes.
