Big hospitals are very rich, they do not know how to spend money so they require all nurses to go back to school for BSN and they pay for tuition. But all hospitals expect to lose money since Obamacare in full effect. Hopefully hospitals will stop to pay for BSN programs, nurses will not be able to afford to pay for this ridiculous "bachelor's" degree and that idiotic goal - 80% BSN nurses by 2020 will never be reached. Any way I am not going to waste my money and particularly my time on all of those stupid fluff courses adn-bsn students have to take.
