A certified Registered Nurse works with physicians and nursing staff to provide care and treatment to patients in various medical facilities. RNs can choose to specialize in a field of their choice and usually have a two-year degree.
A BS in Nursing, or Bachelor of Science in Nursing, is a four-year degree that provides additional training and education so that registered nurses can provide a greater level of diagnostic care and treatments.
Within the nursing profession, certain jobs and certain states require that a registered nurse also have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree.
