Background of BS in 10 Bill: On December 18, 2017, NY Governor Cuomo signed legislation (S6768/1842B) that requires RN graduates of associate degree and diploma nursing programs to finish a RN-BSN completion program within 10 years after initial licensure in New York State. This bill was based on groundbreaking research, replicated in other countries, that demonstrates the significant positive impact of baccalaureate nursing education on the health outcomes of patients receiving nursing care. [This legislation establishes a commission to assess barriers to entry in the nursing field and makes recommendations for additional strategies to increase the availability and accessibility of RN-BSN completion programs.]

The IOM and RW Johnson Foundation’s 2010 groundbreaking report, Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, called for policy initiatives that support nurses’ achievement of higher levels of education and that allows them to practice to the full extent of their education and expertise. This report recommended an increase in the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree from 50 to 80 percent by 2020.
