Advice on BSN

Hi, I've been an RN since 2007. I originally completed a BA and an MSW. I worked as a licensed social worker before going back to nursing school and only have an associates in nursing.

My hospital is strongly encouraging me to get my BSN.

Any idea of the FASTEST school to get a BSN for people who have as much education as me? All searches online aren't taking into account that I hold a bachelors...any thoughts? Advice?

Holding a bachelor's in another field will not help you in an RN-BSN program, because all the classes you will need to take in an RN-BSN program are specific to nursing.
I would recommend WGU (Western Governors) as the fastest and least expensive route.

If it's available for your state, I highly recommend WGU. I have friends who received BSN through them, I received my MSN. I loved them

My suggestion is to get it as cheap as possible - which may or may not equate to how fast it can be done. 
 

Spend as little as possible even if it takes 12-18 months longer.
