You are still taking the classes for your BSN on the way. Personally I think it is about charging graduate level tuition prices for bachelors classes. :rolleyes: If you really want to go this route the schools I would look for are the ones that award the BSN because if something happens and you can't finish the MSN at least you have something. At some work places you can get a salary increase for getting your BSN also.

Yea, it's called Google.

There are two ways you can get your answer. We can Google for you and tell you or you can Google it yourself. It is probably time you start learning to do some things on your own. This is a forum for advice, help, tips, etc. Not to make people do your work for you. If you find a program you are interested in, there is a IL specific forum and I bet lots will be happy to provide you with more information on the program. Not rude at all - just trying to help without doing your work for you.

The point is, it is not difficult info to find. In order to give YOU that info, someone here would have to do the same search. When you ask a question that expects someone else to do something that you could do yourself, it just makes you look lazy, to be honest. It certainly doesn't rub people the right way.

This happens more than you may realize on this site, so yes...people are going to respond to it. They don't like being used.

Also, since you are in IL, you might want to look at the IL Dept of Professional Regulation website which lists the accredited/approved colleges/universities in the state of IL.

I am not 100% sure but I have been told Michigan State offers an ADN to MSN program but I have not had time to find more information about it.

I have been google-ing. However, I haven't been able to find much. Usually Google is very sensitive as to what you enter. Therefore, someone else who may search the same topic may end up with different results than myself simply because of the way they word their search. Also, it is important to note that seeing as I am a new nursing student, I know far less about the career than that of someone with much more experience, such as yourself. That being said, it is always best to get more than one opinion. x amount of eyes are always better than two. I was simply looking for people who were willing to help ( TraumaRUs Nurse_ Extern & Jules A - Thank you all for your consideration).

Don't make is sound like I'm taking advantage of you or something because I'm only doing what this website was designed for.

Okay, lets call a truce here EVERYBODY!

1. If you can't say something helpful, leave it alone!

2. Original Poster - as I listed two threads and others have suggested the IL Forum, I hope this will be helpful and we wish you well with your educational decisions.
