一些州提出的倡议将强制注册护士在10年内获得BSN学位，以便继续作为护士工作。 Here’s what you should know!

Demand for trained professionals with a bachelor’s degree in nursing is continuing to grow. In the U.S., states like New York and New Jersey have considered adopting so-called BSN in 10 programs, which would require registered nurses to obtain a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree within 10 years in order to keep working as a nurse.

Although the U.S. as a whole doesn’t currently require a four-year BSN degree to practice nursing, global nursing education standards are changing. A report by the 医学研究所 recommends that 80 percent of the nursing workforce be prepared at the baccalaureate level by 2020 to ensure that Americans continue to have access to high-quality healthcare. 康涅狄格州目前正朝着到2020年拥有80%的BSN员工的目标前进。

And businesses have a strong preference for hiring new nurses who graduated from a BSN程序, with 78% of healthcare employers expressing a preference for hiring BSN程序 graduates, according to a 2013 report by the 美国护理学院协会. Several organizations 专门 hire nurses with a BSN degree, including the U.S. Public Health Service and the Veterans Administration, as well as the Army, Navy, and Air Force. And registered nurses with a bachelor’s degree in nursing are also eligible to become leaders in their fields.

在10倡议中追求BSN

BSN在10年运动的支持者表示，要求接受高等教育有助于改善患者护理，并允许护理专业人员继续从事管理和其他需求专业的工作。 And several studies have shown that the higher a nurse’s level of education, the better the outcomes for their patients. A 21-year study by the 护理管理杂志 found that patients cared for by nurses who had earned a BSN experienced significantly reduced inpatient stays, less complications, and higher survival rates. 具有bsn的护士还报告说，管理复杂患者和将批判性思维融入日常实践的难度较低。

A report published by Dr. Linda Aiken in a 2011 美国医学协会杂志 claimed that for every 10 percent increase in the number of nurses that earn a bachelor’s degree, the number of surgical deaths decreases by 5 percent.
