So... did it work out for you? Or anyone else??

thanks for this!! And look at you go!! That is awesome!

Thank you so much Calalily and Commuter! Definitely going to look around a bit more and continue to weigh out my options.

Interesting... how is it looking for new grad ADNs?

I'd also love to hear from anyone who has actually gotten their ASN from a nationally accredited institution and then went back for their AA then RN to BSN at a regionally accredited school.

Please help! Hello everyone! I'm going to be graduating with my ASN from Brown Mackie College in April! (Yay!!!!) I had an okay experience there but wish it were better. I'm also having a little trouble deciding my next move. Since I went to BMC instead of a community college or university I am having a hard time getting accepted into a program for a BSN. (BMC is nationally accredited so that is what is causing the issue) My options are either the only two schools I know of that will accept my degree, Chamberlain, WGU or basically start over with an AA from a community college and then apply for my RN to BSN. Due to my end goal (more than likely a psychiatric nurse practitioner) I will end up going to a public university for my masters since they are the only ones who offer this. My question is... if you have gone to Chamberlain or WGU for a RN to BSN were you satisfied (the education, well respected degree, and the school in general) and did you have trouble moving on to an MSN program at a public university? I am concerned with cost as well. I know my cheapest option would be to go the public route, but I would prefer not to start all over !! I worked very hard and don't want to do the work over, or add an extra year to my goals. But I will if I have to!! Are there any other schools out there that I missed? Chamberlain I know is expensive! I made that mistake already with Brown Mackie and I don't want to do that again! Also I know that WGU is very affordable, but they have that 3.0 gpa thing that might hurt my chances of getting accepted into a masters program... or am I wrong about that? Any information would really help a lot! Or if anyone knows of any other schools that are AFFORDABLE and CREDIBLE. I really want to find a good option without having to basically start all over.
