“Community-based work makes the difference between a BSN and ASN nurse,” says Joan Neave, a clinical coordinator at Herzing University. “Most of the healthcare happens outside of the hospital walls. Providing public health education and increasing access to health services in the community ensures a healthier future for everyone.”
The clinical experience you complete in a BSN program is very different than that of your ASN program. Through community-based clinical and volunteer work, you’ll gain hands-on experience in providing holistic, personalized care to a diverse patient population. This not only prepares you to become a leader within a healthcare setting, but also a driver of community change.
