Re: Accelerated BSN or associates?
Timewise the accellerated BSN well help you reach your goal quicker and makes the most sense...but for the cost.
$7500 is a bargain and it's only six more months for you to become an RN. However, to get your NP you need that BSN, so you have to add another 18 to 24months and more expense which are aren't going to get at a community college rate. But there might be some tuition reimbursement from your employer.
Then there's the two years of NP school. So going the ADN route is very time consuming which might trump the cost of the accelerated BSN.
Decisions, decisions.
Good luck in finding one that fits.
