Great Topic! I just presented on this topic for one of my BSN classes as well. I would be interested to know how many of the people who said it should not be required are BSN nurses. Of course, I do not think a BSN automatically makes you a better nurse but I believe for those who are good nurses already obtaining a BSN makes you an even nurse.
Hi there! I am presently enrolled in an accelerated RN to BSN program, and I am taking Statistics at the moment. We have to work on a project, and I need registered nurses to answer a short 5 question survey to help me with my project. I am looking to see if registered nurses believe that a BSN should be obtained by all registered nurses.Should registered nurses be required to obtain a BSN?
This survey will analyze if registered nurses believe that practicing registered nurses should obtain a bachelor degree in nursing science.

Hi, here are my responses. I didn't see a link so I just replied here.
No, I definitely do not believe that nurses should all be required to be BSN
Why,? Because some of the best nurses I have known and/or who have mentored me have been LPNs
I have been an ADN most of my 27 years of nursing, the last 7 being a BSN
When I first graduated from ADN, I felt that diploma nurses really had a large advantage over us!!
For the rest of your statistics info I'm over 50
And I'm a female.
