I would disagree about the BSN. ADN is still the fiscally responsible way to go and follow through with an I expensive online paid for degree. I have heard a lot of threats of BSN only but not one state has successfully followed through. Couple that with the baby boomers becoming our sickest demographic and I seriously doubt we see implementation. I am ADN and have only worked critical care/ED/Cath lab. I have never applied for a job I didn't get and have never been asked for a BSN. I am licensed in 5 states. Hope that info helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by no states have been successful following through. In Ohio, the hospitals are having the RNs sign contracts stating that if they don't have their BSN, they must get them within 3 to 5 years (depending on hospital). My wife is a diploma nurse and is going through an RN to BSN program now.
