Default BScN in Ontario
Originally posted by MollyJ

The idea that I would someday be "grandfathered in" didn't set well for me and was one reason I sought a BSN. But at this point, it is STILL a moot point.

When I graduated over 20 years ago, none of this was even thought of. I didn't want a degree then, and I'm still happy with my diploma. And I expect to be well out of nursing in the next 10 years, so... y'know.

I'm thrilled to see Ontario (is it?) go to the BSN level of entry. We can only hope it will evoke a little American competitiveness.

Yes, it's just Ontario at this point. And that will make the Ontario grads even more attractive to the US recruiters, making our shortage even more critical.

It's not just Ontario actually. BC is doing the same thing. Students entering nursing school this year will be required to get the BSN, no diplomas anymore.

Sorry, fergus51, I wasn't aware of that.
I stand corrected.
