Nursing Dipolma vs. BSN

Published

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this topic? I currently have a Bachelor's degree in Business and after looking into both Nursing Schools that offer diplomas and colleges/Universities that offer a BSN, I am confused on which would be the best choice for someone who already has a college degree and would like to become an RN . Any info or guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks!

In my area of the country, Midwest, many universities have fast-track programs for people that already have a Bachelor's degree. It gets you straight to the nursing classes. I think that would be the way to go if you can find one in your area.

Look for the programs that have most in the way of clinical hours. This should be one of the more important factors in picking a program. Type of program, degree awarded is not as important as the clinical training, especially if you already have a Bachelor's degree.

Thank you for the info. I did a little research and there are a few universities in NJ that have accelerated programs in Nursing.

Thanks again!
