Calling all Danish nurses, that have passed the CGFNS requirements.

I have worked in the Boston Area my whole career, the employers are very firm regarding a BSN, not BN, not BA, or BS. Some nurses had a BA in nursing which is what the college granted which is essentially the same as the BSN. These nurses had to prove to HR that their BA was equal to a BSN by providing their transcripts. My point is a 3 year BN program would not equal a BSN unless their transcript showed a course to course comparison.

CGFNS may not care about the BA or BSN but Boston employers do. Most ASN programs have the same nursing courses as the BSN program and more clinical. Yet these nurses are turned away from Boston Hospitals. What makes even more unfair many of these nurses had worked in these hospitals prior to getting the ASN but deemed not employable due to the lack of a BSN ( they had a BS in another field and some had decades of working in their hospital).

That is the reality of Boston Market. Other markets maybe and probably are more forgiving. If you go to the Boston Suburbs most hospitals don't care about having a BSN.
