Honestly...she is wasting her time going this route. Many hospitals nationwide are only hiring new grads with their BSNs and/or they are making their current nurses with only an ADN or Diploma go back to school and get their BSN or they lose their job. She will seriously limit herself to the nursing jobs she can find if she goes the ADN route now. 10 years ago I would have said differently. But the current trend is BSN or go home.


This is just a wee bit of an exaggeration. Plenty of new hires in NOLA coming form the ADN route. I know several within the last year, of which some have already gotten raises.

My email from my hospital saying either I get my BSN before 2020 or I no longer have a job wasn't an exaggeration. It is a trend in nursing right now that is happening nationwide. Just because it may not be happening in NOLA doesn't mean it isn't happening elsewhere.

And that article is almost 3 years old...so this isn't a brand new trend
