Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Leadership
Patient Outcomes

Background:

Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)-prepared Registered Nurses (RNs) are linked to improved patient outcomes.
The transition to BSN-prepared RNs faces challenges within healthcare facilities.
Understanding nurse leader perspectives is crucial for advancing nursing education standards.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore barriers to requiring a BSN for staff nurses from nurse leaders' viewpoints.
To identify strategies for increasing the number of BSN-prepared RNs.
To examine the association between leadership goals and the proportion of BSN-prepared nurses.

Main Methods:

A Fall 2021 study surveyed 89 nurse leaders in Tennessee hospitals and long-term care facilities.
The survey focused on perceived barriers, effective strategies, and leadership objectives regarding BSN preparation.
Statistical analysis was used to determine associations between leadership goals and BSN prevalence.

Main Results:

Seven distinct barriers to implementing BSN requirements were identified.
Nine strategies to enhance the number of nurses holding a BSN degree were reported.
A significant positive association was found between facilities' plans to increase BSN nurses and their current BSN percentage.

Conclusions:

Healthcare facilities face identifiable barriers and have developed strategies to increase BSN-prepared RNs.
Leadership commitment and strategic planning are associated with a higher proportion of BSN-prepared nurses.
Further research can inform policies to support BSN attainment and improve nursing care quality.
