    Question BSN degree or non degree?

    Hi, not sure if anyone knows the answer to this. I am in a BSN program in California. Most of the students in my program are working on their second bachelor's degree. Our program recently gave us the option to test for the NCLEX after our first year, which means we do not actually have to finish with our BSN if we choose not to. I know an RN-license would normally read as Non-Degree in this case. Since we already have a bachelor's degree in a different discipline will it still read as Non-Degree? Former students are telling us that it will read as a Degree-license since we already have a bachelors. Just wanted to get your feedback on this and know if anyone has experience with it. Thanks!!!

    I didn't know a license would reflect the training level obtained anyway. Mine doesn't (Washington).

    Your place of employment may or may not allow the extra initials after your name and RN on an employee ID/badge, especially if they are unrelated to your job.
