Hired, based on having a BSN

Hire the ADNs. They're not as likely to quit to go to CRNA school as soon as they're off orientation.

Exactly! Spot on.

Magnet requiring BSN is the biggest lie told in nursing next to Joint Commission caring about you having a covered drink at your work station.

The only BSN requirement for magnet is unit manager.

It's just a $$ maker and you don't get any extra && by having it. If the places want BSN so badly, then the hospital needs to pay for it.

Agree. Havent heard just for a unit manager.

I just graduated with an ADN in December and was hired at a Magnet facility, in an RN position, three months before I even graduated.

true,it is not Magnet driving the BSN bs.

Rumors,many still hire ADN,experience in critical care is what they are desperate for.

Many hospital organizations are going Magnet & thus having all RN's get their BSN's. However, when you have a new grad nurse who just passed their NCLEX, worked on the unit as a tech for many years, have a previous BS degree in a health related field & cant get hired on the unit they work, something's very wrong! A BSN isnt everything. You as a hospital are losing out on some very talented quality individuals based solely on having a BSN. I feel this is so wrong on many levels. Curious what your thoughts are on this.

Are you absolutely certain that this is the reason you were not hired?

Hire the ADNs. They're not as likely to quit to go to CRNA school as soon as they're off orientation.

This is true because I would like to get a few years in at the hospital before I advance .
