15. Do you get criticized for pursuing a BSN?

    CaliNurs06 replied to manna's topic in General Students

    The main reason why I chose the BSN route was because the waiting list was much shorter. I took me a semester to get in the BSN opposed to a 2 year wait list at a CC. Also, I have a feeling that if I did take the ADN route, I would have procrastinate...
