Question

[MJ-12]

Hi, i am new to this forum so i hope i everything goes well on my first post

I have a few questions on what is the best road to take.

I am currently looking to go into a BSN program but am wondering if a CRNA school would prefer a traditional 2 year BSN program over an accelerated BSN program.

Not sure if everyone knows what an accelerated BSN program is but its offered to students that have a BS in some other major, ex - math, english, bio, chem, etc.

Well I was wondering if it would matter if i picked the 1 year over the 2 year?

===========================================

So far this is my two routes that i mgiht take.

This might get confusing so please try to bear with me

--------

Plan 1

--------

Wait until next year and go to a 2 year BSN

Pro:

Its a state school

EST $10,000 a year w/ room + board + meal plan

Con:

Gotta wait until next year

--------

Plan 2

--------

Wait until next year and go to a accelerated BSN program.

Pro:

Its a state school

EST $10,000 a year w/ room + board + meal plan

Con:

Gotta wait until next year

--------

Plan 3

--------

Try to go to school now at a private university. 2 yr BSN.

Pro:

Get a head start

Get out same time as accelerated BSN

Class load is lighter

Can work + go to school

Con:

Very expensive $17 - $20,000 - Have to commute

--------

Plan 4

--------

Do an ADN program. (not sure if they are still accepting applications). Then later get a BSN.

Pro:

Get a head start

Can work + go to school

Can get a BSN later but more schooling

Con:

Still have to get a BSN

Not sure on price but am sure its expensive because of more schooling.

============================================

Please let me know what you would choose and if you have another plan please let me know i am very intrested in what you have to say.

I am going to try to make a poll and hope i don't screw up. First time and want to try a bit of everything

I'm in an accelerated BSN program now and I plan on going to CRNA school in a few years. Trust me, if you can do really well in a one year BSN program, you can probably do well in CRNA school. My program is insanely difficult and we're all total overacheivers, because we have to learn a huge volume of info. in a very short time period. But if you chose the accelerated route you definitely won't have time to work and you won't have much of a social life either.
