To the extent that you desire one of these positions, an ADN may eventually seem somewhat limiting. Family obligations and other responsibilities may make it more difficult than you may have anticipated to drop everything, go back to school, and obtain a BSN degree that will become your ticket to enhanced career opportunities.
A notable proportion of the difference between two-year ADN programs and four-year BSN programs involves time devoted to the study of liberal arts subjects. The BSN track also includes more theory-based education in subjects such as research, disease management, and even leadership.

Weighing your options, then, becomes an exercise in recognizing your potential for patience, your financial situation, and your ultimate career goals.
