I'm currently a student at Temple Univeristy with my major being undecided. Unfortunately my deadline to sign up for the nursing program has passed. I was wondering what would be the right choice staying at Temple and applying for the nursing program next year or try to transfer to Abington Dixon. If I stay at Temple, I would be going to college for a total of 6 years, as temple's nursing program takes 4 years, versus transferring to Abington and finishing my study there for a total of 4 years in school. Would it be worth staying at Temple or is Abington a better school? Thanks for any input, I really don't know what to do...[/quote']I would say try to get into Abington if you can. You're not guaranteed to get accepted into temples program next year and you should have a back up plan. 6 years at a 4 year university can be expensive especially after the 4th year. FYI Bsn nurses don't make THAT much more. I live in southwestern pa and they only make $1 more.
Also, there are many employers that will help you pay for your Bsn while you are working for them as a RN.
Good luck.
