Nursing- BSN, CNS, ADNs ?? |
What does the terms BSN, CNS, and ADN mean? I saw them across the nursing boards and I would like to know what they mean. I think it applied to more of the military nurses, I was looking into it... CNS is a clincal nurse specialist, which is a type of advanced practice nurse. BSN is a bachelor of science in nursing (typically 4yrs, can be done in 1-2 years if you have a previous bachelors degree). ADN is associate degree nurse which is usually 2 years. BSNs and ADNs have to sit for boards to become RNs (registered nurses) and both can do exactly the same things. However, if you are interested in moving on to advanced practice degrees (CNS, nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist), you need a masters degree, and you must have a bachelors degree to gain admittance into a masters program. ADN is associate degree of nursing (2yr) BSN is bachelor of science in nursing (4yr). I believe you meant CNA which is certified nursing assistant (a short certificate program; like what used to be called a nurses'aid) There are also GNA or greatric nursing assistants who work in Nursing Homes. And also CMA, certified medicine aides. These are CNA's who have taken another certificate program to be able to pass meds in an institutional setting like nursing homes or prisons. These are all initials of education....and there is more : A.A. Nursing, MSN, DN, etc. |
