BS in psychology and pursuing ADN

Published

Hey!

New to the forum but I just moved to Las Vegas and I'm attending college of southern Nevada to finish up some pre-requisite and hopefully their nursing program! I am paying out pocket so I going for my associate right now but has anyone gone through the program? I keep seeing people say that getting your associate is a waste! However I have wanted to get my nursing degree for a long time but couldn't because my husband got stationed in Italy! Right now getting my ADN is the best option but what are your opinions about it? Any info would help!!

Thank you

Getting you ADN is not at all a waste if that's how you need to get your nursing degree. I would definitely think about doing an RN-BSN at some point though so you will have more choices of employment.

I work at a Magnet Hospital (Gold standard for nursing) that hires lots of ADN grads. They are required to get their BSN within a few years, but it's definitely not a waste.

Thank you Guys for the input! It was a little discouraging to hear that from some people about getting my ADN! I plan to do the RN-BSN soon after as well!!
