Going beyond BSN?

Published

Im still working on my GE's and planning to transfer to a 4yr and do Accelerated BSN program. I plan to work afterwards. When I'm confident enough, I'll do my masters. And when I get more confident, I plan on doing my DNP somewhere just to have more outside experience. Do you guys have anything in mind after getting your BSN?

Right now I'm working on my ADN. After a few years of work (3-5) I'm going to go back to school and do an ADN to BSN program. After that I'm going to get my Doctor of Nursing Practice so that I can prescribe and be called "doctor". I mean, I'm going to consider myself a "gent" after I have my RN, but being an official doctor and having the right to prescribe will be the icing on the cake.[/quote']

I wanted to do the ADN too at first. But I talked to my counselor and she said I have a pretty good shot for BSN. I didnt want to do it at first since Ive been on Pell Grant for almost 4 semesters. She said I can do BSN and Financial aid can still cover it so I will do that one. She said it's the same length for BSN and ADN on the university im going to transfer so I'd rather do the BSN .

I'm going start my ABSN in Fall 2014 and then after I graduate I am going to work in whatever department I need to based on what specialty I decide to pursue and will either aim for a DNP or a doctorate as a CRNA. :)[/quote']

You have a school in mind for your DNP?

That sounds great! Do you have a school in mind you want to do your NP?

Not at the moment. I first have to get into this BSN program, then I'll search for a school to pursue my masters afterwards.

The highest nursing degree my school offers is the ADN, the only other degree offered is an LPN diploma.

What state are you in? Are you going to transfer to a state university?

Are you in a community college? If so, yeah adn is the highest possible you can. But you can still take the NCLEX with an adn

Specializes in CRNA.

I will be doing a Paramedic to RN bridge that is a year long for my ADN. Then start working in either the CVICU or ER that I work in now. If I start in the ER I will plan to transfer to the CVICU in a year. I will be working while I get my BSN. Then after I have my BSN and ICU experience it's on to CRNA.
