Nursing Disadvantages
One of the main drawbacks to earning a BSN is the time that it takes to complete the degree. Although there are other options and programs that take only three years or less, most students need four years to complete a BSN degree, as opposed to two years to complete an ADN degree. The cost is also a major drawback for most students. The cost of college tuition is rising rapidly, and spending an extra two years can cost up to $15,000. Although it is expensive, over time the BSN pays for itself. Nursing school is not going to be easy, but it will be worth the work in the end. According to Beth Greenwood of Demand Media, she states that many people are turned away from nursing due to the shift work and physical work that is required. Nursing is a physical job in which you spend many hours on your feet. Also, most nursing shifts are twelve hour shifts. New nurses start out on weekends and the less desirable shifts due to the fact they are at the bottom of the totem pole.
