While an ADN prepares you to become an RN, many nurses choose to pursue further education for career advancement. Options include:
1. BSN Programs: Many RNs with an ADN eventually pursue a BSN, which can offer more job opportunities and higher salaries. 2. Specialty Certifications: RNs can obtain certifications in areas such as critical care, oncology, and pediatrics. 3. Advanced Practice Degrees: For those interested in becoming Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists, or Nurse Midwives, a Master's or Doctoral degree is required.
