We live in los angeles, california. my sister who is a BSN overheard fellow nurses talking that in 2008 all nurses who has an AA degree will need to convert to BSN because there is a new law in 2008 thats coming out requiring BSN in the hospital. is there any truth to this. what will be the consequences for nurses that have an AA degree only.

Not true, not true, not true!!!!

When I was a CNA there were rumors about ADNs being done away with, that was 25 years ago and ADNs are still getting their licenses.

If it were true, people who already have their ADNs would be grandfathered in, but would not lose their licenses.

BUT IT'S NOT TRUE!!!!!!!

With the incredible shortage in the state (and country) I don't see how this could be plausible!

This new law does not exist. I would bet $1 million dollars on it, if I had that kind of money.
