There are three main types of undergraduate nursing program, defined by the type of degree they offer to students upon completion. These nursing programs are those most like standard baccalaureate programs. Other nursing programs offer students associate degrees in nursing, known as ADNs. The third type of nursing program is one that offers a certificate or a diploma, without a specific type of degree.

While all types of nursing program will allow for graduating students to enter into entry-level nursing positions, some will offer up additional opportunities and benefits which will be of great value to advancing careers.

An ADN, for example, would be helpful for getting an entry level position, but it would be far less helpful for the purposes of long-term advancement. On the other hand, a BSN degree could very well help with advancement beyond entry-level nursing positions. This is because of the additional education and training that would be involved in a BSN program, including clinical, hands-on training which might not be provided in ADN or diploma programs. Those programs might be more affordable and more fitting for specific individuals.

In fact, many students do just that. You might be able to find a job that offers some form of reimbursement for pursuing a BSN degree, which would make this option all the more viable and attractive. Then a diploma nursing program or ADN nursing program might be the best.
