Don't Understand the Types of Nursing Schools - Help

[RunawayN]

Hello, I'm getting ready to take the career jump to nursing but I am so confused with the types programs in nursing schools. LPN, BSN, ASD, second degree BSN, RN, MENP...probably more but I have no idea where I fit into.

Currently, I have a BA in Psychology so I'm thinking I should go for a second degree BSN, right? Or should I go for a MENP which is Masters Entry in Program?

the sucky thing about ADN programs is it ends up being like 4 years of school ..yeah the program is 2 years..but you also have about 2 years of pre-req's you need to take before you even apply

Well, . . If I had just graduated from H.S., I would pretty much need everything in those 2 years of pre-reqs, I think--I wouldn't have gotten any of that in H.S. Of course, I'm remembering my time in H.S. . . it's different now, I hear. (I graduated from H.S. at the time of the Spanish-American War.)

So why not just go to a 4-year BSN school? And I think the answer to that hinges on the question, Who's paying your tuition?
