Hi everyone,
I am currently an LVN and I am finishing up my prerequisites for an RN program.
I am looking for advice. This is a hypothetical dilemma, but want to see what others think about it.
If I choose to apply for ADN programs, I would be finished with my prerequisites this Fall 2021 semester, but if I choose to go towards a BSN program, I would be finished by the end of next Spring 2022.
I can start to apply for ADN programs starting January/Spring 2022, meanwhile taking my last prerequisite (Chemistry) and hopefully (fingers crossed) get accepted into an ADN program for Fall 2022.
I also wanted to test my luck and apply for a BSN program during Summer 2022 for Spring 2023 admission, prior to starting a program Fall 2022 (IF I do get in).
My questions is:
If I do get accepted for BSN Spring 2023 admission and I am currently enrolled in a ADN program, would it be worth it to drop out after the 1st semester and start with a BSN program? or should I just continue on with the ADN program?
I know many programs offer dual enrollment to get your BSN if you are in an ADN program, but it usually starts after 3rd semester.
Obviously, if one doesn't accept me, I would keep trying anywhere until someone accepts me, but I want to see best case scenarios IF both an ADN and BSN program accepts me within short amount of time.
