to get a BSN if no desire for management?

Published

The short and skinny is: I've been a nurse 10 yrs and desperately want to go back to school and get a 4 yr degree; currently have an associates degree in nursing. Any insite out there? I know I don't want to do any form of healthcare management and also don't want to do bedside nursing forever. Any suggestions on an alternate degree other then BSN that I can achieve and still stay in the health care world, and not be going to school for eternity? I'm thinking Business or general studies of some form.:confused:

honey, you have already earned your BSN..too bad you can't be grandfathered in. and you are right about the course work because alot of the ADN programs here are adding more classes to their program and in my opinion the students are being cheated because with just a few more classes they would earn a BSN. this is one reason that i just got the bsn, i was in school only a semester longer than my adn friends. good luck with what you decide.

Thanks so much for your input. I really appreciate it;)

Given the large number of courses you have already taken, perhaps you should go to an RN-MSN program. Skip the BSN as a separate program and go to one of the programs that gives you an MSN. That way, you would be a lot further ahead for only a slightly larger invetment.

If I could do that it would be awesome! Thanks for the idea.:w00t:
