I'm torn between choosing between two programs and would greatly appreciate your insight. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and already meet the pre-reqs for both programs. I have a 3.9 GPA so am confident I'll be accepted to both programs. I'm fortunate that both programs are at well-respected public colleges so quite affordable, and very close to my home (less than 10 miles). I'm leaning towards the associate's so I can continue to work. I think this will be manageable since I won't need to take general eds and can just focus on the nursing coursework and they offer night and weekend coursework options. But, I've heard an associate's isn't very desirable for employment. Also, I could have a bachelor's degree completed in less time for marginally more money at the expense of more student loans for living expenses. Any input is helpful! 1) A.S. in Nursing Tuition: $4,700 Duration: 2 years Format: Part-time or full-time Start: Fall 2020 2) Accelerated BSN in Nursing Tuition: $12,000 Duration: 16 months Format: Full-time Start: Summer 2020
