Not all hospitals provide tuition reimbursement if you continue your education. You will need to find a hospital system that does pay for tuition reimbursement.

Also, there will be little or no pay difference between the ADN and BSN if you plan to work in the hospitals. Obtain your bachelors' degree if you plan on entering management, teaching, research, or leadership roles.

Since your overall goal is a BSN, just go straight to PV and get one. Good luck

we have tuition reimbursment ($600/semester) without strings. I work for Christus Hospital- Sisters of Charity. Letting a hospital pay for my education WITH strings makes me nervous. I don't want to owe anyone "years of service" after I graduate. There is money out there for school- grants, student loans, etc...so don't let a dangling carrot guide you. Follow your heart!

I was going to apply for Cy-Fair's ADN program last year, but found out that they were/are not accredited yet. I agree with everyone above, just dive into Prarieview and get it all done at one school. Good luck!

Some hospitals in East Texas DO pay extra for BSN. Many pay tuition as well. I got my ADN then BSN and MSN but it was slow go and I worked full time. If you are able to get your BSN I recommend that.

I would absolutely go for the BSN, because you will have an easier time getting a job. I live in CC and I know an ADN with years of experience at Christus Spohn. They informed her last summer that she would have to go back and get a BSN in order to keep her job. Unfortunately, she wasn't willing to do that so now she's back to being a staff nurse. Houston is more competitive and it will more than likely require a Master's degree to advance into management. Also, several hospitals are recruiting nurses from the Phillipines and they all have BSN degrees. I almost made the mistake of getting my ADN first and I know I would have regretted it. The fact is, an Associates degree is NOT considered a college degree, and you will have other options besides nursing if you obtain the BSN.
