  9. Diploma Nursing Future Trends in Education Preparation • There is little long term future for diploma nursing programs although there are still several on the east and west coasts. The type of learning opportunities in a diploma program are not broad enough to provide a nurse to meet the wide realm of the health care industry now and in the future. Diploma education limits most nurses from advancing in their professional careers and there are work situations that do not hire less than BSN prepared nurses.

  10. Diploma Nursing Future Trends in Education Preparation • The reason there remain diploma programs most likely is that they are funded and supported by the hospital association/organizations and the doctors in the area they continue to exist. Most have been integrated into university education settings with many becoming part of BSN programs.

  11. Diploma Nursing Future Trends in Education Preparation • Diploma nurses very often seek their BSN or higher degrees in other nursing related areas (psychology, etc.). There are some fine diploma graduates who have been working as nurses for many years who have a wealth of clinical knowledge and are great at the bedside. • Those who are in many clinical settings have grown with their roles and have accumulated a broader knowledge base, if they have not taken courses toward a BSN. “I would say that I met that criteria until I completed my BSN”. Quote “Marie Ahrens.” Clinical instructor in nursing. University of Tulsa.
