Graduating with my BS this Spring

Hi all,

So I'm graduating from UCLA this coming Spring with my BS. Im interested in going into nursing and have looked at various ASBSN programs around Cali. I just had a couple question for people who have been in this position or who have any advice. Im going to be taking a year off to work full time and finish some prereqs but was wondering what a good job would be in the health world that i could at least be in the nursing/health environment and maybe gain a little experience in. Also, I feel like a lot of people going into nursing schools are a little older. Is it ok to start now when im 22? with virtually no health experience? and ive heard a lot of ASBSN vs ELMSN programs. Some people say just to get your masters, but i kinda thought it would be better to get my BSN and work for awhile before going back to get an MSN. Any thoughts? Advice?

I would have taken the 2nd degree to MSN route if there were any available closer to me in AZ (the closest I found were in NV, San Diego, and NM all about 500m away). I didn't have the option of moving due to my youngest in 10th grade and getting straight As (I really don't want to foul that up!).

The MSN direct programs I found wanted you to pass the NCLEX after the 2nd (I think) year and then allowed (actually sounded like they wanted) you to work while completing the MSN part.

I am waiting to find out if I made the UA Tuscon ABSN program right now... tick, tick, tick...

Good luck,

Mark
