Go straight to a BSN program right after ADN graduation

[grechi2009]

I just been wondering, with the way the economy is going and how stressful and difficult it is turning out to be for new nursing grads to attain employment. I have heard that many ADNs are having hard time getting the job bc BSN nurses are being considered more competitive. Has anyone gone straight to a BSN program after having no luck finding jobs or right after becoming a registered nurse (passing boards), thanks I have to write a paper about a important issues facing nursing students today. I appreciate all the replies.

One of my classmates in a BSN program went straight into the MSN program. What made her situation unique was that she had never worked one day in a healthcare position and at close to 30 still lived with parents. Since the economy was better then, suspect that she was avoiding the real world of work.

My classmate who is pregnant has gone straight into a RN-BSN program. I really want to do it, but I have so much on my plate. I'm broke and I can't afford to add to my mount debt! But I just might change my mind it can't really hurt to have a BSN.

I am a May 09 ADN grad and decided to go straight to a BSN program....I continue to apply to jobs but felt like I couldn't sit around and do nothing...........the program so far is no where near as challenging as regular nursing school but at least I am staying current with information. I also made sure of the programs stop out policy in case I am lucky enough to land a new grad job and can't do it all right away (I am in a non online rn-bsn program). So even though financially I NEED to work this way I feel I am more marketable and could take out student loans to get by.

I would like to ask you some questions. I hope you don't mind? Where on line are you going into BSN? I have an associates. What school? What state are you in? Where did you find the on line school ?
