Katie, Echinacea, and Shanna.. Thanks for all your info!!!.. After some research and calls to numerous admissions offices around NYC..ADN through BMCC's evening/ weekend program is really my only option due my financial needs and work schedule... but thanks to your responses I'm way more confident about getting the ADN degree now... I was afraid I'd be at a much lower level. I also read suggestions on this board re maybe getting my employer to pay for my BSN once I get the ADN. From what I've seen it's pretty expensive... Although I don't think I'll want to go into management.. I also read about NY possibly requiring.. Well hopefully I can get my foot in the door and get into the BMCC program. Thanks again!!!

Hi everyone.. First let me say this site is great and it's nice to see how everyone takes the time to give really helpful information. I am a college grad with a BA in Political Science (go figure).. and I recently realized I really want to become a nurse.. I am applying to the evening ADN program at BMCC... I work fulltime and do not have the time to go to school full time...My questions are: 1. Is it hard to get a job in New York with just a ADN? I plan to go for the accelerated BSN once I get hired as an ADN if possible. 2. What is the average salary for a fresh ADN grad with no prior experience in NY? 3. Will my BA count for anything since it is in Political Science? Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide!
