ASN Cancelled?

after you finish your pre-reqs it should only take 3 years of the BSN not 4-5

4-5 years total. At my school pre-reqs are lumped in with the nursing classes you get a total number of semesters not pre-req plus nursing. For the ASN degree it was 2-2.5 years total and they didnt offer a BSN degree you had to take RN-BSN which was another year. Now its going to only be BSN and it will take 4-5 years total. So for people who were doing ASN its abig shock to hear you will be in school atleast 2 more years than you were planning.

I was recently reading that many states are considering laws that would require nurses to get a BSN within 10 years of being licensed. I think these requirements are outrageous and are only being considered to enrich schools. The major unions like SEIU are firmly against these proposals, so I doubt they will go through. Perhaps your school cancelled the ADN in anticipation of such legislation?

My school is a BSN program that combines pre req's with the nursing classes that is 4 years total (you take 15 to 18 credit hours a semester, no summers unless you want to that's your choice), unless you flunk a class then it would be 5 years. So you have 4 years left and you have been taking pre reqs? Have you thought about transferring cause time is money.

I have deceided to transfer because this is a private school that before today did not even offer a BSN program. The "new" BSN program will take 5 years and cost $50,000+ dollars. I'm a mom of a one year old and I dont feel it would be responsible for me to commit to something that would not only take up all of my time for 5 years but put my family in extreme debt. I was going into nursing to become an OR nurse, wanting to become an RNFA. I am now considering just going to first assistant school without becoming an RN. It will get me working much more quickly and leave me with far less debt. I keep telling myself my passion is in the OR and I can always get my RN later. I just feel so stressed out because they changed this at the last minute (fall registration is in 3 days). I feel like they put the ASN students in a position where they have no time to think about what they want to do because at a school that cost $7,000 a semester (not to mention books, daycare etc..) TIME IS DEFINATLY MONEY
