The Coalition for Advancement of Nursing Education (CANE) gathers nursing and healthcare organizations and educational leaders in New York State together to support
Assembly Bill 2079-A/Senate Bill S4051. This legislation will create a new standard for continued registered nurse (RN) licensure by requiring that RNs earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing within ten years of initial licensure. This approach is modeled after the education requirement for public school teachers in New York State.
