0I have a foreign bachelor degree and a USC master degree in the major other than nursing.

Im currently debating whether to apply ADN or BSN programs. My long term goal is to get a master degree in nursing.

Will the graduate school consider the applicant with an ADN and a master degree (in the major other than nursing )? Or do I have to get a BSN first in order to apply for master program?

any advice please...

You can apply to a direct entry MSN program where you might have the option of earning a BSN during the course of the program.

Thanks for advices. The ELM program combines the ABSN and MSN program and costs $85K. I like the combination and the length of the program but the cost is a big commitment. I sometimes self-doubt my ability.

It turned out that I spent 4 years in getting both my ADN and RN-BSN separately (1 year prerequisite in school A, 2 yrs ADN in school B, and 1 year RN-BSN in school C). All schools are public, so I finished all three without any debts. Now, my new question is which online MSN programs don’t require 1-2 years of working experiences ( e.g., ICU) Prior to admission ?
