Associate degree registered nurses who pursue a baccalaureate degree and those who do not

Associate degree nursing programs are currently graduating the largest percentage of the nurses entering practice. The majority of these nurses perform routine skills and practice in acute care settings (hospitals) which focus on bedside care of ill patients. This is what they have been educated to do. However, health practices are changing. Projected needs indicate that it will be necessary to possess a baccalaureate degree in the future to meet the health care needs of society.
