difference between the hospital and the universities

Published

quick question for everyone.... if you graduated from a nursing program from a hospital and recieve a certificate/diploma, then how would a college/university look at that? reason i am asking is that i have to sit out for a year (due to getting surgery and the doctor wont release me back for my clinicals in time) so i will be released in time to apply for a hospital that teaches nursing... however i want to go on for my BSN. i will have my AS in Science at the same time (i graduate this summer).. :confused:

As long as the program is accredited (and I can't see how a hospital would run an unaccredited program) you will be fine. Your BSN program may require you to take some gen ed courses but you won't be short on nursing theory or clinical knowledge. As a matter of fact you will probably have substantially more clinical hours than other non-hospital based programs so it is a good choice.
