So my husband has decided that I do not give him enough attention. So he says when I am done with school he is leaving me and the kids. I am sad but tired of trying to keep him. He should just want to stay but again I am not giving him enough. He says I am smart and beautiful so I will fine someone fast. I don't have time nor do I want anyone else. So should I get a asn in case he leaves before then or go for the bsn because I want that and more?

Ummm..got a pic you can post?

Sorry. Kidding.

That is horrible you are going through this. As long as he's staying through school, get the BSN!

Yeah that sounds like what I should do. Sometimes I wonder about men....

If he's staying till you finish go for your BSN. But honestly, if I were in that situation, I would've told him to go to h*ll. That type of person is someone I wouldnt want in my life.

I'm sorry to hear about you situation, but I'm going to give you a blunt response from a male perspective. I would get the ADN because chances are if you are deciding which program to go into you have not yet started a program. The chances of him sticking around for 4+ years while you get your BSN are slim to none, that's just the way it is. If he does stick around he's going to be doing things that will make you want to toss him out on the street. You can always go back and get your BSN later after you receive your ADN and are working as an RN. But just think about the possibilities, what if you're 1.5 years away from finishing your BSN and he decides he's done with it, he'll pay child support, but nothing else, then you're in a heap of trouble. With the ADN you can finish in 2 years and then get on with your life. Sorry if this offends you, but I know how men's brains works, as I have one of them.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I agree with commonsense. I would get the ADN first for security and get the BSN later on. If he's already talking about leaving you need to think about your children and yourself and what you're gonna do once he's gone. He may change his mind about when he's going to leave and you need to be as prepared as possible.
