Adn with bridge or bsn?

I am currently working on an ADN and will start a RN-BSN as soon as I finish. It is so much cheaper for starters, plus getting in was way easier too. It's also a very respected program in my area and nurses have no trouble finding work.

I ultimately want to go to CRNA school, so I figure I'll get critical care experience while I work on my BSN for a couple years after graduation.

I am getting my ADN then doing the bridge program after. I think this way will be better for me so I can gain experience while working towards my BSN. Also so my job as an RN will do tuition reimbursement for it.

Yes.. That's exactly what I intended to do. I appreciate your input.

A LOT CHEAPER is right. Thank you, I appreciate your insight

I went the ADN route at my local CC. After completing one full year at work, the hospital had tuition benefits for me to go back for my BSN. It's a great win-win. I've been gaining nursing experience, and the hospital is paying for most of the bill for me to get my BSN.

I also love that my local state college has the bridge online so I can still work full time and take classes part time. It's a much cheaper route and I walk away with no student debt. I love the foundation I got from my CC and now doing the BSN classes online on my own time is less stress.

I'm going really slowly, but as long as I keep working full time, hospital will keep paying for my classes. I'm only doing two classes a term since that's what my benefits cover and it's not overwhelming me with homework. I still have a social life and my grade are on the dean's list every term so far.

Thank you for this!! I've been accepted to the university but my cc will not tell me till July if I've gotten in or not.
