Competency Based educational trend may promote the attainment of the bachelor's degree in nursing science because it also allows students to progress at their own pace and has been well received by nursing students. Many associate degree graduates begin their career after graduation working full time and find returning to school difficult because of time and financial constraints. This is a push for nursing graduates from associate degree programs to continue their education continues to increase advancement in education as well carrier opportunity in life. The attainment of the bachelor's degree in nursing science is often needed for both personal attainment and career advancement. CBE state that this model of education does not allow authentic learning and is incompatible with liberal education.
