Even if all of the states decided to require BSN for minimum entry,all of the current AD nurses would remain RN's because of they would be "grandfathered" in.The debate of entry level RN has been in discussion since 68 and it was predicted that it would be required to have a BSN ten years ago but still hasn't happened ,although I feel it will because they are phasing out the opportunities that you have with an ASN degree. and as of now North Dakota is the only one that doesnt use AD nurses.
