Input on The Application Process

[kketeles]

HELP!

I'm currently finishing up my pre-reqs at a junior college in northern California. As my application process is inching closer and closer, I continue to get anxiety. I was curious on what routes people took -- due to BSN programs being so impacted. Recently counselors have thrown different ideas and routes that I mite want to look at.

-Applying to RN to BSN programs

-Applying to BSN programs

-Applying to bachelor programs like (health science) annnnd then applying to an accelerated nursing program for that school.

If you have any input at all, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

In order to apply to the RN to BSN you have to already have your RN. Being that you are still in your prereqs, I don't think that would be an option at this time. Applying to a BSN program would save you time in the long run but generally are a three yr program compared to that of an AS, which is a 2 yr program. I applied to an AS program at our local Comm. College. It is a lot cheaper and will allow me to start my career then advance to my BSN. There are a lot of online BSN programs out there, which make things (in my opinion) a lot easier. I would recommend applying to more than one school though, when you do. You don't want to put all your eggs into one basket, so to speak. Good luck on your endeavors!
