NY Hospitals Hire RN-BSN Only?


I'm currently in the last semester of my Associates of Nursing program. I'm DYING to get out of Florida and head to NY, but I've heard on more than one occasion that RN's are only hired out there with a Bachelor's Degree. I plan to immediately start the BSN, but I'd like to get right to work with the degree I have.

Anybody know if the rumor is true?

From what I see, BSN is preferred, but not always the only demand. If you are already attending classes for the BSN, they may still consider you.

im a new grad in NY with the ADN as previously stated BSN in some places are preferred, but the flipside of that is there are more ADN program than BSN + there are only 3 schools in the nyc area that even has the BSN, Pace, NYU, LIU and if you count Aldephi...which license are u going to get, because your school will send ur info to the FL state boards

True, true.
Perhaps the larger and famous hospitals in Manhattan may push for a all BSN staff, but those hospitals also have the funds to pay higher wages and also recruit nurses from all over the United States, thus aren't limited as much to the local pool of nurses. However once one goes to the NYC hospital system, and or the local hospitals in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island things are different. Even Beth Israel, not to shabby a hosptial, and just built a new school in the Garment Center area, still has a two year program
The NYC area has far more Associate programs than BSN, and the local hospitals, again especially the smaller and ones outside of Manhattan tend to recruit grads from those programs.
