Conneticut hospitals and BSNs

[RunnerD1987]

Curious how many hospitals in the state require BSNs? Just heard news Bridgeport Hospital, St. Vincent's Medical Center and Bristol Hospital are working towards either magnet status, achieved magnet status, or only hiring BSNs.

I know Hartford Hospital and Middlesex Hospital require BSNs. Not sure about other hospitals owned by Hartford Healthcare though. Yale New Haven Hospital is another one. Not sure about Greenwich they are owned by Yale New Haven Hospital so would assume so.

Curious if any hospitals left in the state where an Associate Nurse can work?

Think only hospitals left be Western Connecticut Health Network (Norwalk, Danbury, & New Milford), Sharon Hospital, Lawrence and Memorial, Waterbury Hospital, Saint Mary's Hospital, Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, Milford Hospital, Stamford Hospital, Hospital of Special Care, UCONN Health Center, and Gaylord Hospital.

Appreciate the feedback.

I had a new grad ADN in my orientation class last May, he did do his clinicals all at Yale so I'm sure that gave him an in. Don't know if he's bound to do a BSN but I'm sure he probably does.

Yale is becoming VERY difficult to get into as an ADN. Doing clinicals at Yale prob had no bearing on it..but 'knowing someone' does..as well as working there prior to graduating does as well. Of course if he 'knows' someone, worked/works there and had clinicals there..then thats a trifecta :)

Chances are good that if he's not already enrolled in an RN to BSN program, he will have to be shortly. I'm pretty sure (could be mistaken) new ADN hires have to enroll within a certain time frame.
