some countries as a <b>Bachelor of Nursing</b> (<b>BN</b>) or <b>Bachelor of Science</b> (<b>BS</b>) <b>with a Major in Nursing</b> is an <a href="/wiki/Academic_degree" title="Academic degree">academic degree</a> in the science and principles of <a href="/wiki/Nursing" title="Nursing">nursing</a>, granted by an accredited <a href="/wiki/Tertiary_education" title="Tertiary education">tertiary education</a> provider. The course of study is typically three or four years. The difference in degree designation may relate to the amount of basic science courses required as part of the degree, with BScN and BSN degree curriculums requiring completion of more courses on math and <a href="/wiki/Natural_science" title="Natural science">natural sciences</a> that are more typical of <a href="/wiki/Bachelor_of_Science" title="Bachelor of Science">BSc</a> degrees (e.g. calculus, physics, chemistry, biology) and BN curriculums more focused on <a href="/wiki/Nursing_theory" title="Nursing theory">nursing theory</a>, nursing process, and teaching versions of general science topics that are adapted to be more specific and relevant to nursing practice. Nursing school students are generally required to take courses in social and behavioral sciences and liberal arts, including nutrition, anatomy, chemistry, mathematics, and English. In addition to those courses, experience in physical and social sciences, communication, leadership, and critical thinking is required for a bachelor's degree.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> BSN programs typically last 2–4 years. Someone who holds a BSN can work in private or public medical and surgical hospitals, physician's offices, home health care services, and nursing facilities. Having a BSN can result in more opportunities and better salary than just an associate degree.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Bachelor%27s_degree" title="Bachelor's degree">bachelor's degree</a> prepares <a href="/wiki/Nurses" class="mw-redirect" title="Nurses">nurses</a> for a wide variety of professional roles and graduate study.

It also provides the student with general education in math, humanities and social sciences. An undergraduate degree affords opportunities for greater career advancement and higher salary options.

Towards that effort the report recommends that educational associations, colleges, delivery organizations, governmental organizations, and funders develop the resources necessary to support this goal. These recommendations are consistent with other policy initiatives currently underway; for example, legislation requiring that nurses receive a baccalaureate degree within 10 years of initial licensure has been considered in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Many of these recommendations are being driven by recent studies regarding patient outcomes and nursing education.
