school choice advice... thanks for reading!!

Published

Hi, thanks for reading! I'm currently having trouble with the decision to turn down admission to Johns Hopkins SON for an accelerated bachelor's. If I turn it down, I won't be paying 90K+ for a BSN (a pro). But I'll also have to wait three more years to graduate, and I'll be going to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), which I don't know much about but I'm sure is fine, if not as prestigious as Johns Hopkins. (a possible con)

It seems not to matter where the BSN comes from... is this really true?

My ultimate goals are to work as an L&D nurse for a few years while my husband & I start our family, then go on to a midwifery program (most likely Frontier) later in life.

I currently have a bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from Oberlin College, which means I already have some loans in repayment! I'm only 22, and the idea of so much debt is overwhelming but I want to make the right decision for my future/career.

Am I making a good decision to wait and go to VCU instead of Johns Hopkins?

Thank you in advance for any input/advice.

Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics.

Man I feel so weird with my 9 thousand dollar nursing program :stone I guess I got the Geo Metro Education while some of ya'll are rocking the Cadillac Escalade Education :p

I don't have any information on any of those schools but good luck in whatever you decide, with a degree in Neuro Science I am sure you will do just fine in either one :)
