Easier to get into RN-BSN programs?

I was rejected from 2 nursing schools for 2 years in a row, and then I discovered ADN programs. I had previously thought that community colleges only offered LVNs and pre-nursing pre-reqs. ADN programs go into the catagory of, "Stuff I should have known about which would have prevented me some difficulties." One of my bosses is a nursing instructor in a local program, and she says that it looks like I have a decent chance of getting in. I plan on getting my BSN, but I dread the 10% acceptance rates of the local universities that offer BSN programs. Are RN-BSN programs easier, or at least less competitive to get into? One part of me thinks this because the bump of getting the RN has already been finished, the other part me me thinks that many are rushing to get thier BSNs.

It has been my experience that it is much easier to get into RN-BSN programs than prelicensure RN (ADN or BSN) programs. The competition for the latter is absolutely fierce. Many RN-BSN programs are 100% online also.

They are absolutly easier to get into, at least here in Oklahoma. I know at my school everyone who applies to the RN-BSN program gets in, whereas to get into the BSN program it is very competitive.

They way things are now I would just go to whatever school (ADN or BSN) would accept me and go from there.

That's good to know. Thanks. I am applying to all the nursing schools in Houston and perhaps in other cities.
