I don't know for certain...I'm thinking that many places don't consider RN-BSNs as being new grads. Also, a lot of facilities attach an experience requirement to their new grad programs, such as having less than 12 months of RN experience.
However, I'm not a HR rep. The best way to get the answer to your question is to write the HR/nurse recruiter of a facility and ask if you would be eligible. After all, the worst they can say is "No."
thank you, NickiLaughs, I am guessing, I should go get my MSN soon. I am looking in Bay Area, but no schools are offering direct ADN to MSN program
What about online programs? I know Aspen has a RN-to-MSN, and there are definitely others out there.

I have received my ADN in 2009 and since then only had 2 years of RN experience as a home health nurse in San Jose, CA (also have one year in ALF as an LVN). Right now I am trying to get a full-time job anywhere else but home health agency, no luck so far. I was thinking if I complete a BSN program will I be considered a new grad- this way I can apply to some new grad programs - or not? Seriously, I am so desperate to find a full-time job in NorCal!
