Are you getting a ADN or going straight to BSN ?

Are you getting ADN or BSN ?

If I may ask is there a particular reason why you chose that route?

Thanks

[Sand_Dollar, BSN]

I'm going the BSN route for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we have 2-3 year wait lists for CC programs here in CO (I could be done my BSN before even being accepted into an ASN program!). Secondly, I dropped out of University years ago (different degree) and it has always been my biggest regret. I want to remedy that mistake.

Even though I'm older, I don't know what I plan on doing in a few years. I do hope to travel and I have to have a 4 year degree to work in some other countries. I am just ensuring I have the most options when I graduate. You never know where your future will take you!

I had originally intended to go for my ADN , talked it over wit an adviser, and decided to go the BSN route. So I will hopefully get into the school of my choice.

as far as i know, though, you need nicu level iii experience to become an nnp...

Actually they only require that you have one year experience and still currently working in the NICU for this program. but thanks for the heads up

I thought this thread was interesting so here's my two cents.

I originally wanted to go for my BSN, but since I would be a transfer, that has been out of school for awhile, a nursing advisor pretty much hinted to me that I had slim to no chance of getting into the UF Generic BSN program. He recommended I try Santa Fe's ASN program.

I was disappointed but after some thought I decided that it would work out for the best. I plan on becoming a CRNA so once I graduate with my ASN, I will work, hopefully, while obtaining my RN-BSN online. Then after a few years of working in ICU, I will apply to a CRNA school. While working I can also freshen up my chemistry and math, always moving forward.

It's strange how in some states it's harder to get into the BSN program while in others it's harder to get into the ASN program.
