NURSING: How do employers view nurses who completed 2 year accelerated versus 4 years B. Sc. N.?
I am in the process of completing a 4 year bachelors degree and then I want to do a two year accelerated program in nursing afterwards. I was wondering how employers view myself in comparison to someone who has completed the full 4 years of nursing in their bachelor's degree and also how my work skills in nursing are predicted to be having completed fewer placements. I live in and plan to work in Ontario Canada if that helps.

An accelerated BSN contains the same amount of nursing courses as the 4 year BSN. The difference is that you take only nursing courses each semester and you don't take the summer off. I have not found a place that cares how long it took you to earn the BSN, only that you have it and the RN license. In theory, if you did the 4 year route, you could work in a hospital during your time off, but gone are the days of the student nurses working alongside nurses, learning the ropes before graduating. Now, your real training occurs when you get your first RN job. Most places don't want to employ a student nurse as anything because jobs are tight and the student nurse will leave when she/he becomes an RN.
