ASN vs BSN

[msheather413]

I'm needing to apply to nursing school starting this summer. In January I was accepted into a BSN program but after much hard thought I decided to stay at our Community College and finish off all my sciences. It really only made sense financially. Now I'm rethinking going for a ASN instead of BSN. The college for the BSN was $35,000 a year. I could certainly do much cheaper than that for a ASN. What did you do and what you would you recommend? Any advice would be helpful!

Do what is best for you. And what you can afford. I did the asn to bsn route graduated in 2014. Work in a hospital. Have my bsn already.

I'm finishing the last semester of my ADN program. It was a financial decision, but none of my classmates have found it to be a hindrance in their job search. Many of my classmates have already secured jobs in the ER, PACU, PCU, and OR.
