This study compares RN-to-BSN completion graduates and generic BSN graduates in frequency of critical nursing activities performed when caring for patients and in degree of commitment to the profession. Results indicate that RN-to-BSN completion graduates perform in a manner similar to generic BSN graduates; however, RN-to-BSN graduates more frequently demonstrated professional commitment such as attending continuing education programs, and furthering their education. These findings support not only the current RN-to-BSN completion education programs but also the value of this cohort to the nursing profession.
本研究比较了护理学副学士到护理学学士（RN-to-BSN）完成学业的毕业生与普通护理学学士毕业生在护理患者时进行关键护理活动的频率以及对该职业的投入程度。结果表明，RN-to-BSN完成学业的毕业生表现与普通护理学学士毕业生相似；然而，RN-to-BSN毕业生更频繁地表现出职业投入，如参加继续教育项目和继续深造。这些发现不仅支持了当前的RN-to-BSN完成学业教育项目，也证明了这一群体对护理行业的价值。
