'Mt St. Mary's College ADN' versus 'National University BSN Los Angeles'?
I have been accepted to both. (My hope is to gear my career toward working with neonates & eventually obtain an MSN). I want to go to the school that will give me the best chance to pursue this area, I also hope to apply for new grad programs at CHLA/Cedars): National University doesn't have a preceptorship but it can give me the BSN. I guess most jobs + new grad programs in the Los Angeles area require this. MSMC has the great reputation, but I was only accepted to the ADN program due to a high school recency rule. Is it better to earn my ADN with MSMC and complete an RN-BSN somewhere thereafter - OR go for National Uni which is a newer program and earn a BSN in less time? Does anyone think one school is a better path than the other? Also, If there are any MSMC ADN grads or National Uni grads that were accepted into new-grad programs such as CHLA/Cedars/Kaiser I would be so appreciative if you could share your experiences/lend any advice.. Thank you so much
