Actually, the state license is the same. Entry level patient care is similar. The baccalaureate degree has additional education in leadership, research and community health nurse may have more management opportunities. There are many types of nurse specialties that require a BSN or MSN to be employed in that area. For example, a public health nurse typically requires a bachelors degree. Grossmont College, School of Nursing strongly encourages our students to continue their nursing education and seek a BSN and MSN with its articulation agreement with Grand Canyon University.
