After a lot of thought, I finally decided...

Published

...to get a BSN, instead of the ADN I was going to get. Wish me luck, its going to be a looooong 4 years. Classes start in less that 2 weeks. I am going to attend Tidewater Community College for 2 years and finish all of my classes, other than the actual nursing classes. Than transfer to Old Dominion University for their accelerated BSN program. I am scared to death, there are soooo many classes that I have to take and I've been out of school 13 years now. But I am as excited as can be too.:balloons:

Hi Princess74,

Do you already have a bachelor's degree? If so, look at the accelerated BSN programs for people who already have a bachelor's degree in another field. They have programs that are 13.5 months to 18 months long to get a BSN/RN. Something else to consider... and quicker too.

No, no bachelors degree. This will be my first time attending college, so I have to take EVERYTHING lol. I have been out of high school for 13 years. This should be quite an adventure!
