Well, here goes, if anyone has read AJN for about the last year you would have seen the differing viewpoint articles and TON of reader responses about this subject. Basically it seems to be a huge hot topic as to if a BSN should be required in order to be a nurse, I saw good letters on both sides, and the articles both made good points. I have my own opinion but will shelf it for a short while I think. So what do you all think? Personally I think each persons opinions will be strongly tied to their first nursing degree.
