- s1artibartfast 1y agoHave you looked at proportions over time? In the 1980s 55% of registered nurses were working with diploma. It is down to 6% today. Bachelors or greater was 27% and is now over 70% today. As your link points out, many states are continually raising the bar and many have already moved to a BSN minimum. I'm probably dating myself, but there was a time when people started working occupational nursing programs while in high school and were licensed a few years later. https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/12956/chapter/9#186 https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/12956/chapter/9#186
