Re: Advice needed on nursing path!!!! Please&Thanks!!!!!!
I am having a similar dilemma, however I'm doing my pre-reqs for nursing and don't have a bachelor's. I have been told by many working nurses and HR departments that it really doesn't matter except for moving up the ladder. The pay is exactly the same for RN's, regardless of ADN or BSN. I'm an older student, so I'm not really interested in doing anything but working with patients! ;-) However, there are many online RN to BSN programs, CU has one! The community colleges out here (CO) have 2-3+ year waiting lists and cost about double what your program will, so shoot if you can do that in AZ, go for it! But if you know you want to move up, it may be worth just biting the bullet and do it all now. I guess it just really depends on what you want to do long term.
