Most newly minted 2 year RNs are several years at best from any of those. Most BSN are way ahead of them in this respect. The difference is education and maturity vs training.

My sister is an RN and charge nurse now for Keck Medical Center here in LA. She may disagree with you on this matter. What matter is the experiences gain in the field that they can or need to read a patient's well being so they can be saved in a certain situation. Code red will make them jump like you have never seen before. No thinking required, its automatic after a few years into the job.
