I currently only have my associate's degree and have been working as a nurse for over 5 years. Today I was forewarned that by 2018 my employer will require all RN's to have a BSN and that ADN nurses would be given until that time to finish or give valid proof that you are working towards the degree. The nurse said that all ADN nurses would be notified so they could begin to pursue their BSN degrees or basically look for work elsewhere as we are a magnet hospital and so they want the hospital staff solely by BSN nurses.
