I have my ADN as well as bachelors and masters degrees ( The hospitals I worked for after I received my ADN paid for me to continue in school.) Honestly, the best classes I took were in my ADN program. I think it was the instructors (small school, personalized attention). I do agree, for professional reasons, that we should raise the bar and have the bachelors as the minimum and current ADN and Diploma nurses should be either grandfathered in or have an efficient , accessible program for them that gives credit for experience. I know there are several examples, but recently here in Florida audiologists raised their standards to a doctorate being the degree to obtain so they are not confused with people who simply sell hearing aids. They gave current audiologists a time frame to get their doctorate and set up accessible distance learning programs for them.
