The inability to reach consensus on the "entry into practice" preparation for nursing has caused which outcome?
1. A unified approach to professional regulation and licensure
2. Differentiated practice
3. Divisiveness among nurses with different educational preparation
4. The current nursing shortage
Correct Answer: 3
As professional nursing moved toward the goal of requiring the baccalaureate degree as the minimum credential for professional practice, RN-BSN transition programs were developed to enable the ADN nurse to move upward. RN-MSN programs have also been developed to enhance career mobility. Although these developments have advanced nursing, the continued inability to reach consensus on the "entry into practice" preparation for nursing has resulted in divisiveness among nurses with different educational preparation.
