ADN-MSN-NP

Hello All,

I will be graduating this December from LATTC with my ADN. I would like to attend an online program that is ADN to MSN NP with onsite clinicals. I know that USC offers this but it's $1,800 per unit. Does anyone have any path or university recommendations?

I am considering doing RN-MSN in education then working for 2 years on the floor then applying for a NP program. I have been doing a lot of research but still not sure if that path even makes sense. Any information is appreciated.

    I'm not sure why you want to go this route. Here is what you should consider:

    1) Expense. USC is expensive. A cheaper, and more common, route is to work as an RN and do a bridge RN to BSN (which most employers will pay for). Then you can apply for an MSN NP program or a DNP program (there are now BSN to DNP programs). Figure out your finances and what you will be able to afford in student loan payments.

    2) Academics. This would be a grueling academic path and USC is a good school. Do you feel you can handle the academics?

    Good luck.

    Thank you for the reply. Maybe I wasn't clear when I meanioned USC lol. I mentioned that it was $1,800/unit so that's something I just won't pay for. I just like the structure of the program.

    I do know the hospital that I work at will pay $3000/yr torward education. ASU has a an online bridge from RN-BSN for around 10K. This may be the best option for me.

    P.S. I feel that I have been misled by counselors so many times before I'm trying to gain as much info as possible before I meet with one.
