I don't regret having an ADN, I see it as having a stepping stone in my path to furthering my career. With my ADN I was able to come out of school making almost the same amount of money as the BSN (BSN made 25cents more an hour) I could go into any area I chose ( I chose oncology) and I was immediately employed. I have been a nurse for 11 years and I am currently enrolled in a BSN program. To look at things from a personal view I do sometimes wish that I had gone for the BSN first, but professionally, I don't feel that I was hindered one bit. I am currently pursuing an oppurtunity to open my own fitness and nutrition center. With my knowledge as a nurse, I feel I will be more capable of helping clients who are hypertensive,diabtic or who have oncological related problems attain and maintain healthy lifestyles while dealing with their current disease processes. I also believe that having the BSN would have better prepared me for this technology age and for the changes forthcoming in the nursing profession. I am even considering continuing on to ge an MSN.
