For most nurses in America, an associate's degree in nursing is the start of a rewarding career. As the editors state, "an ADN is enough to take the NCLEX-RN to receive his or her nursing license. Becoming an RN is a critical step that helps set up all others, including earning specialized certifications and going to a bachelor's in nursing later." Nurses may question whether an associate's degree is worth their time; "when the Institute of Medicine, the AACN, and other leading organizations are calling on nurses to get their BSN, is the ADN worth it?" According to the editors, "Most students pursuing their ADN are paying their own way, whether at a community college, a small state college, or even a major university. And in most cases, affordability is the name of the game." For that reason, an associate's degree can be "a start to a career that doesn't have to cost a fortune or bury students in student loans." As the editors note, "With nursing shortages and encouragement from nursing organizations to earn higher credentials, it's never been more important for LPNs or nursing assistants to get their ADN."
