Prestigious RN School

Published

A general opinion question; What are the most prestigious BSN programs? (If someone said I got my BSN at UCLA or Georgetown) Does BSN programs carry more weight than others?

I went to a hospital based 2 year program. The tuition was very reasonable and my husband agreed to pay it as long as I worked throughout the program, which I did. I work at a large academic hospital but now have to do my BSN. I am snailing along, 1 class at a time with that. Given the economic climate, I would choose a school you can afford rather than prestige (unless you have lots of $$$). I have borrowed money in the past. It took me several years and help from my parents to pay it off, which I regret. I am often reminded by admin that I need to do my BSN, but the head nurses on my floor have never made me feel "less than" for earning my RN from a hospital. And after you interview, no one asks or cares really.

Many places are offering tuition assistance to get your BSN. I got mine online from an online program based out of a state B&M building. the tuition was low and it cost me nothing.
