Hi. I am new here and I have a question for anyone who might be able to answer it. I am currently 6 months into an accelerated BSN program in CA. My program in two years long and my school has recently changed the program so that we can sit for the NCLEX after our first year. Then we can continue the next year to finish our BSN while we are working as an RN. Many students are choosing not to go this route because they say that the BSN degree will never be shown on their RN license and that there is no way to change it after they receive their degree. Does anyone know if this is true? Seems a little ridiculous to me, that you would not be able to update your license to list that you have a BSN. It is tempting for me to sit for my NCLEX as soon as I can and begin working in the field. Please let me know if anyone can answer this, it is a major point of debate in my program.
