  • Title: Is a baccalaureate in nursing worth it?
    Author: Lowry LW.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 1992; 10(1):46-52. PubMed ID: 1732816.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated economic costs and benefits of generic BSN and BS degrees from students' points of view. Economic benefits from the baccalaureate degree exceeded benefits from an RN-credential only, after a lifetime of employment. The net present value of a BSN degree discounted at 5% was four times greater than the net present value of a BSRN/diploma and three times greater than a BSN/associate degree.
