A possible law Concerning new graduates with an Associate Degree in Nursing in 2008?


I heard a rumor that in 2008 there will be a new law requiring new nursing graduates to have a BSN in order to take the Registered Nurse exam and get a job. Is that true?

That rumor has been around for ages. I heard it when I was in college getting my Associate Degree. It didn't materialize then and it won't now.

short answer.....no
