<p>yeah definitely. You can become an RN with a 2 year ADN degree from a community college, and get the same job as a BSN from Penn/Gtown/etc. The difference is in resources, quality of education, facilities, etc. Also, if you think you’d be interested in advanced practice nursing later on, you’ll need that BSN. Some of the ADN nurses I work with are doing RN-BSN programs to finish off those 2 years so they can keep options open.</p>
