RN to BSN??? is it worth waiting to get in??


Ok so here's the deal. I want to eventually become an NP. My question is should I get a BSN in NUrsing or BSN in anything and then get master in Nursing? I already have an ADN and have my RN license. I would prefer to get my BSN in nursing but i dont want to wait forever to get into a BSN program. Is it hard to into a RN to BSN program?? I see that some of the RN to BSN programs want you to have at least two years experience as an RN but im a new grad and have yet to find a job. I cant see myself waiting years to get into a school. Anyways just looking for advice.

Best to get your BSN from the beginning. You will save time and money in the long run and won't be hampered if your career decisions change.
