Yes, pps r right. Im in California and the hospitals here r the same with only wanting to hire a rn with a bsn.

As far as license goes I know here in California if u want to work as a rn u must get Ur license in California so I'd check the state u want to work in and see if they require u to have a license in that state or if a license from another state is fine.

I would recommend going to the university and getting your bachelors. The hospitals around here won't hire you anymore unless you have a BSN. It sucks paying the extra money, but it will benefit you more in the long run. Plus you would probably just end up getting your BSN eventually anyway.

Go straight to get your BSN. itll help you in long run. Most hospitals are requiring it now
