The American Nurses Association (ANA's) proposal for entry level for professional practice initiated debate among nurses. Which nurse would be impacted the most if the ANA proposal were implemented?
A) An RN with a diploma who works in a critical care area
B) An RN with a BSN who is a staff nurse
C) An RN with an associate degree who is currently in school
D) An RN with an associate degree who is a nurse manager
Answer: D
According to the ANA's proposal, only the baccalaureate graduate would be licensed under the legal title of registered nurse. The graduate with an associate degree or diploma would be considered a technical nurse. If the ANA proposal is implemented, nurses who are currently licensed and educated in associate degree or diploma programs would have to be considered under a grandfather clause, provided that their performance meets established standards. If an institution required a minimum of a baccalaureate degree for the position of a nurse manager, an RN who is currently employed as a head nurse but who does not hold the baccalaureate degree would have no guarantee of retaining that position.
