ADN Degree Vs Nursing Diploma

By Jami Willson


Why sure you can. Although a nursing degree typically requires clinical practice on top of academics, you can still get a nursing degree through an online program. It's hard to imagine a person gain hands on experience in a clinic or hospital over the internet, in fact it is impossible.

The nursing diploma and Associate's Degree in Nursing or ADN are two of the basic entry level degrees that can get you into the profession. Both take about two years to complete and are therefore the shorter routes to becoming a registered nurse (RN) as compared to a 4-year bachelor degree. But which is the more advantageous nursing degree between the two? Let's find out the advantages of each in this article on Nursing Diploma vs ADN degree.

Okay, so how do classes work? -Well, this varies from school to school, but with recent growing demands for nurses and nursing students, many facilities are opening up entire programs online. Typically the nursing associate degree online will have a site where instructors post lectures and assignments for their students to download and complete. Many also have discussion or bulletin boards where students and instructors can communicate freely with each other and help each other with questions and concerns, or just get to know one another. In this way a virtual classroom environment is created.

The thrust of a diploma degree is on direct patient care and hands-on hospital experience. Any nursing diploma holder is qualified to sit for the NCLEX-RN test and earn a registered nursing license.

An ADN or ASN degree will offer courses in nursing concepts and practicum, nutrition, anatomy, and physiology, as well as liberal arts studies. Because this is an occupation-driven degree program received in two years, much of the curriculum focuses on providing practical experience in the field. Students can expect to visit local hospitals and health care facilities in order to cement the lessons and techniques acquired in the classroom.

However, she can study for a nursing associate degree online in the very little amount of free time she can muster, and not have to worry about finding the money to feed her children. Not all online programs allow you study at your own pace or fast track however. Most of the nursing associate degree online programs offered through colleges and universities are structured around the same schedule as their classroom programs. Assignments are due on the same dates and exams are taken at the same time.
