Community college or 4 year school? Advice needed!!

Published

So I am currently going to a community college. I am doing prereqs to get into the nursing program to gain an associate from the community college. After gaining my associates i want to transfer and go to cal state channel islands and get my bsn. I was wondering, is it better to just to the prereqs and my ge's and transfer to a 4 year school and do the nursing program there or is the route I'm currently taking better? Any advice is helpful! First time user and currently a very confused freshman!

Why be confused?

Unless you've got the money and the time, work in a hospital and go back to school as an AD on their dime. (tuition reimbursement benefit)

Look. The ANA has been quarter-heartedly trying to make the BSN the entry level degree to become an RN since 1965.

But being the weak grandma's they are, the ANA will always be the handmaidens of the money changers.

So in perspective, 99% of the things BSNs do, ADs can do.

Everyone's an RN in the eyes of the state. No one cares about what academic degree you have except maybe you and your mother.
