Does an RN with associates make as much a bachelors?

On average, registered nurses (RNs) with an associate degree earn less than those with a bachelor's degree. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for RNs with an associate degree was $73,300 in May 2020, while the median annual wage for RNs with a bachelor's degree was $75,330. However, there are a number of factors that can affect an RN's salary, including experience, location, and specialty. In some cases, RNs with an associate degree may earn more than those with a bachelor's degree. For example, RNs who work in rural areas or in specialized nursing fields may earn higher salaries. Additionally, RNs with more years of experience may earn higher salaries than those with less experience.
