hi, know this topic has been re

i applied to four nursing programs in the area. my gpa was at 2.6 from my previous bachelor's degree, but was denied entry into the accelerated bsn program and mein program for nursing. however, took my teas v test (86%) and my pre-requisites over the course of a year (averaged 3.0) was accepted into two programs. one is at the local community college and the other is at the college i previously attended. talking to the college for the bsn they do not have an accelerated program and told on part time basis could take 12-14 semesters to complete. the adn program can start in the fall and be done in four semesters.

my goal is to continue education and enter into a master's program focused on public health and family nursing. going for the and with the masters is just about the equivalent length of time. however, would it be better to start from scratch go for the bsn or go the adn route? would there be any advantages or disadvantage?

appreciate the feedback

if you plan to continue your education, why not get the adn now and work on your bsn/msn while you work? most rn-bsn programs i have researched are very flexible and the majority appear to award credits based on work experience. i am applying to an adn program and plan to get my bsn with the help of an employer that participates in some type of tuition reimbursement. it's definitely something worth considering.

I would go the ADN route to save time, effort, and probably money. You don't know what could happen in 12 to 14 semesters. Chances are high that some life event would curtail your progress. Get in, get it done, and get that license. In the time it would take you to do 12 to 14 semesters, you could be well on your way to a master's degree because you started with the ADN and got it done post haste. Good luck.
