There is a growing emphasis on higher education for nurses. Many states are adopting the âBSN in 10â legislation, which requires newly licensed nurses to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing within ten years of initial licensure. This change aims to ensure that nurses are better prepared to meet the complexities of modern healthcare.
Furthermore, the implementation of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) has allowed nurses to practice in multiple states without needing additional licenses. This flexibility supports the mobility of the nursing workforce and addresses regional shortages.
