Is it worth just going from BSN rather than just a ADN..

[guardcutie02]

I am currently just working on my Gen Eds right now. I hope to actually begin school soon..but which is better in your opinion..should I just tough it out and go to school a little longer for a BSN or is it worth it? Should I just get my ADN now and then continue...bsn msn--practioner??

i went the ADN route and graduated back in 1996, and never had any intention on getting my BSN, i figured i still had no problem getting jobs, what was the difference? but then i got a job where they had magnet status and really nicely pushed their nurses to further their education by great education reimbursement and discount programs with an online ADN-BSN program, so i decided to give it a shot. took me a year of hard work, but i graduated with my BSN last oct, and have been pleasantly surprised at potential employers' comments about my BSN status. seems like it's really starting to make a difference these days. i'd say go for it. or at least plan on it soon after.
