ADN or BSN

Nursing Students ADN/BSN

Published

Hello everyone. I currently already hold a Bachelor's Degree in Human Development & Family Science. I graduated in 2010 and now I am thinking I want to go back to school to become an RN. Now my dilemna is whether to enroll in community college for cheap and get that ADN in one year or less so I can sit for the NCLEX and work for awhile...OR to just go for one of those accelerated BSN programs (expensive as crap) which would take 1-2 years. I already have 60k loan debt from my first degree, so the cheap ADN route is appealing to me. But my ultimate goal is to become an NP, so maybe getting the BSN now and not bothering with the ADN would be best. My plan was to get the ADN and get employment (hopefully) at the hospital so they will pay for me to go through the BSN-MSN program as I work as an RN. This plan would save lots of money and then my BSN-MSN would take a total of 3 years. Is this the best plan, or will it be difficult to obtain an RN job with the ADN? I am trying to make the most financially smart decision based on all the debt I already have and the fact that I am young (23) and have time. Thanks!

no need to be rude...I was just seeking some kinda advice and guidance...and yes they offer accelerated programs
