1. Which is better RN cert. from a community college or BSN

   sun78910 replied to wchelsea's topic in ADN/BSN

   I did the accelerated program because I had a BS, the only gripes I had was the money and it's tough because the curriculum is so condensed. I went to a private nursing school and costs added up quickly. It set me back 60 grand for 16 months of schoo...
