Laura,
The reason why I am going for an ADN is because there is no bridge program in my state for people with another degree.
Plus at this point in my career, the clinical knowledge is more important to me that the BSN/ADN considerations. I have taken all the statistic, public health and leadership classes at the master level.
Thanks for yur replies

What has been your experience?
Thanks for your input.
river and everyone else who has a BS or BA,
Are there no bridge programs in your area or have you even looked into it. this is where you already have a degree and can Get your BSN in one year.
Hi River :) I have a BS in Sociology and an ADN, which I completed in December. It was a shorter program and was cheaper than a BSN. I still have a bachelor's degree which will allow me to take a job that requires a BS degree. Also, I can go directly to a MS Nursing program with an extra class, bypassing BSN degree.
I have a BA and an MS in Community Health, and am doing an evening ADN program now. BSN programs are no good for me because they require that you go full-time, and I need to work. In addition, they are more expensive and have more prereq's. I think that with the RN license and an MS in Health, I should do fine. I am considering going on to an NP program afterwards, and the local college accepts students with a degree in something other than nursing. I am always heartened to hear about others who had previous degrees and are going back for the nursing license! I hope we're doing the right thing!
