The Future of the Associate Degree in Nursing Program. The associateâs degree in nursing (ADN) has been the benchmark credential for getting a nursing job for the past 40 years, but change is now afoot.A small but growing number of U.S. hospitals are now only hiring nurses that have a bachelorâs degree in nursing (BSN) or higher.ut the notion that many more nurses should be BSN-credentialed has gained momentum in national health-care policymaking circles. Researchers from the Institute of Medicine and the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation jointly called for increasing the U.S. nurses holding BSNs to 80% by 2020.
