Accepted to an ADN and BSN school. Which one to choose?

Nursing Students ADN/BSN

Published

Hi guys! I am in such stressful times. Here is my situation. I am done with all GEs and figuring out where to go for the program. I got accepted into GLENDALE CITY COLLEGE NURSING (ADN) for FALL 09 (I start this summer for prep classes). ALso, I got into Spring 10 class in cal state la. I am pondering on which school to attend. Should I go to Glendale for an ADN this summer or wait until spring for a BSN at CSULA (which can take up to 2.75-3 years) I have read other posts by nurses stating that majority of the hospitals are now requiring or preferring BSN over ADN nurses. I am confused and pressured not to make the wrong decision. The tuition is not a big deal.

Would the pay/benefits make that big of a difference between the 2 degrees?

please advice

thank you all =]

Let me make it clear.... my BA was completed in another country, with a GPA 2.3

(much lower than yours)

Then I moved to the US, completed all my prereqs (4.0) and 60 AS units (3.93) here.

I guess schools didn't count my previous GPA from outside of the US.

Anyway, you still have a chance, go for it! Consider CSULB rather than CSULA since it's a 2-year BSN program.
