Although a BSN is not necessarily required to practice nursing, those who hold one tend to earn higher salaries than those who don’t. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that registered nurses earn an annual median salary of $59,760 in the state of South Carolina, the top 10% of RNs earn more than $96,000 per year. Experience and education certainly affect the actual salary of an RN, and employers tend to look more favorably on applicants possessing a BSN.
