The hospital I work at was taken over about ten years ago. Over those 10 years finally began incorporating policies of the hospital that bought out the hospital. The nurses have to achieve their BSN by 2020 or loose their jobs. However, there doesn'tseem to be a defintivie answer from the higher ups. One camp says must be enrolled you'll be fine the other says must have your BSN (Think they are still working on the details.)
I am going for nursing school, but with limited funds doing the associate program. Then jumping right into a RN to MSN program online. Curious do Magnet Hospitals hire nurses in a BSN program or have to have your BSN to apply?
Doesn't the hospital have tuition reimbursement? You should look into this, if they are mandating this they should provide $$ support. Some hospitals contract with a college to hold classes in the hospital to make it convenient.
Cool appreciate the feedback. It is a bit nerve racking that entering into the nursing program can come out with limited job prospects. Just hoping my work will take me on and research some online BSN or MSN programs.
