Surveys have shown that employers tend to favor nurses who possess a baccalaureate-level degree over those with an associate degree. It is not uncommon for hospitals and other places of employment to view nurses with a BSN as having more skills and experience. In many cases, earning the degree leads to a greater wealth of nursing opportunities that pay a higher salary. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, registered nurses with a BSN stand to make a median salary of $84,750 in Hawaii, which is the second-highest figure for that profession across the nation – beaten only by the state of California.
While earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing by taking classes within a campus setting is the most traditional way towards earning a degree – not everyone will have a chance to attend one of the few on-campus BSN programs in Hawaii.
