Deciding between programs: ADN vs direct entry NP

Hi all,

I just got accepted into two different programs and I am at a cross roads. I got into Shoreline Community College for the spring quarter ADN program, which I is a lot cheaper and will provide me with a strong 2 year foundation on practical nursing. But I also got into the APNI direct entry program at Seattle University, it's a fast track to get a RN within a year while the remaining 3 years are prepare you to become a Nurse Practioner. My ultimate goal is to eventually become a nurse practioner and really make changes to the health care system but after talking to some nurses, they believe that starting out small and working in the trenches as an RN first will make me more well-rounded. However, I already have a bachelors in Biology and the program at SU will provide me with a higher education I can challenge myself with.

I would to hear other opinions on the different programs, especially those who are currently students at Shoreline Community College or Seattle University.

Thanks
