1. Do you get looked over for having a ADN rather than BSN?

   asp40 replied to maddiem's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am in NJ and almost every hospital requires a BSN before they will look at your application. Some say BSN preferred, but all of the online apps have a check box for BSN. I have an ADN, and most from my class were unable to land hospital jobs unle...

   asp40 replied to RN2MSNasap's topic in Western Governors

   Hello everyone. I am starting WGU RN-BSN on December 1st. I just got my transfer eval. It seems like I only have to complete the BSN courses and nutrition - 25units. Is this typical? One of my RN courses had a nutrition component - should I even ...

   I know some people started a few weeks ago, but for many of us, this past week was the first week. So - how did it go? I am a new grad, worked at summer camp and just started my first RN school nurse job. So far, so good. I have a lot of paperwork...

9. RN Diploma vs. ADN

   asp40 replied to mom2009's topic in New Jersey

   Do not go the Diploma route. Right now, ADNs are really struggling to find jobs in NJ - I believe those with a Diploma will struggle even more. I would do the ADN and then BSN - or better yet, BSN to start.
