Bachelors degree in another discipline

I am looking to do Chamberlain online. I have a BA and a MBA but due to the hospital where I currently work having Magnet status, they seek RNs with at least a BSN for advancement. I am hoping this program will work for me and I can finish quickly. Anyone go to this program with other degrees besides a BSN? How did it work out?

I'm confused. Are you currently an RN?

Yes, I am a RN with a ASN degree. When I went back for the bachelor degree, they did not have nursing as an accelerated program. I got a BA in another discipline (organizational management) and later a MBA. At this time I have a job that I like but many more years to work. I was made to feel like the "did me a favor" by taking me without a BSN because the facility at which I work has Magnet status and only hires now RNs with a BSN. I got hired in another area with these degrees but in order to advance it seems the BSN is needed.

You should look carefully at Online University | Online Degree Programs | WGU . With your history, you would likely be able to fly through the program and the cost is outstanding. (~$3200/ six month term)
