The title of the degree doesn't matter. BN and BSc are equals. The only thing you need to check is if they are accredited by the NMC.

Both BN (Bachelor of Nursing) and BSc Nursing (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) qualify you to become a registered nurse (RN) in Scotland. The BN is typically more focused on clinical practice, while the BSc may include more research or academic components. Since you only want to be a nurse and not transition to medicine, BN is a great choice as it is designed specifically for nursing careers.
