Hello! I have a question?

So since most hospitals are starting to prefer BSN nurses. Are ADN courses going to be taken away in the future?

    None of us have a crystal ball, so we really can't tell you for sure. My guess is that ADN programs will stick around, just like LPN programs are still here.

    I understand. Makes sense.

    The push for BSN (so far) is limited to acute care (hospitals). There should be plenty of opportunities for ADN nurses in non-acute settings.

    I had a thought when I read this post. I remember in the early '70s when ADN programs where the hottest thing thing next to white bread.

    Oh, how the things turn ...

    In this current job climate you might have difficulty finding a position depending on where you live. They have been talking about making a BSN the required entry. ADN nurses would be grandfathered in....but they have been talking about this for 40 years if not longer.

    As a previous poster mentioned, the push for BSN degrees is taking place mostly in the acute care hospital setting. Those of us who work outside the exalted hospital can still get hired with the ASN or diploma.

    When I graduated in '07 (from a BSN program), there was talk of this and one of my Professors mentioned that she, too, was told this when she graduated... in 1985. There is a HUGE push for BSN from the hospitals in this area and there are still ADN programs all over. They will continue to exist as long as students continue to enroll. The schools don't care if you get a job when you graduate. They have your money already at that point.
