I'm wondering what your opinion is to this scenario: I should be finishing up my ADN this coming May. While I was on the wait list at the local tech school for the ADN program, I started and just about finished a BA in Health Care Administration. I thought it would be good to pair it up with nursing. When I finish the ADN program I would like to do a completion rn program (BSN). MY dilemma is that with the economy going in the direction that its going, would it even be in my best interest to go for the completion or just go ahead and finish the HCA (only 3 basic classes left) and then go for a masters in that? Money's tight and I hate to stick in into something where the market might be oversaturated in (nurses). Any and all opinions are very much appreciated. Thanks.
