The main difference between the ADN degree and the BSN degree is that the ADN requires 72 credits and the BSN requires 125 credits to complete the nursing program. In the associate degree of nursing the programs are primarily directed and focused on providing basic nursing care to patients and also meeting the needs of their families. In the associate degree level students acquire and acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to care for patients to provide bedside nursing care and provide direct care to patients in order to heal patients from their illness and provide them with medical care and care which mostly requires hands-on practice for experience in caring for patients in hospitals and even community health facilities. At the nursing associate level, only the basic leadership principles needed to be the charge nurse and also needed for the RN supervision required for other healthcare providers are taught. It is obvious that associate level nursing programs do not truly prepare nurses for the graduate level of study. On the other hand we find that students in the baccalaureate curriculum have a higher level of attention, which mostly emphasizes the evidence-based approach. clinical practice and leadership qualities. When we look more deeply into the additional courses offered in the baccalaureate curriculum there are research, critical thinking and statistics, also public health and community health. It turns out that numerous research studies have found that both associate and BSN nurses may not show a big difference in their skills and competencies when they initially graduate. But studies have shown that within a year the BSN n...... middle of paper...... understands what the patient who was calling said. He then told the charge nurse who was a BSN to go check on the patient. The head nurse noticed that the patient's voice was slurred and his face was drooping before his eyes. The nurse asked the patient to raise both hands but one hand fell. Immediately the BSN charge nurse recognized that the patient was having a stroke and called for rapid intervention. Then, when the rapid response team arrived, they assessed the patient and took him to the ICU for further evaluation and treatment. Therefore, a professional who is a BSN nurse means participating in research in order to increase their nursing knowledge and use their experience with patients and their families as research tools in order to design best practices in the field of health care and be able to demonstrate evidence-based practice.
