The one difference is that an  RN, regardless of her background, has passed 
the same exam in her state as  another RN.  So while I may not know if she has 
a 3 year diploma degree, a  4 year BSN degree or a two year AD, I do know that 
she passed the same state  licensure exam as did her counterparts.  And that 
she had to attend some  sort of qualified, accredited school of nursing prior 
to passing that  exam.  
 
Therein lies a HUGE difference  between our professions.
