Will my Bachelor's Degree help me in my nursing career?

I'm getting ready to start nursing school in the fall but I decided this during my junior year of college. I finished with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science. I wanted to know if my prior degree will help with my A.S.N. in terms of salary, administration duties, etc.? I will eventually get my Master's in Nursing, but will work with the A.S.N. for a while and I'm hoping I will receive some kind of benefit or credit for having the Bachelors (even though its not in nursing).

It will help if you ever want to get into administration
