You are totally right about that. I just would think if you are going to go back anyways why not just get it done with the first time while you are in school mode. If you are worried about money- you can work for a hospital making 12-15 dollars an hour and get (approximately $5000) in tuition reimbursement. I just think you should get the BSN the first time, unless you never want to get a masters. I know when I was applying too, some hospitals are not hiring graduate ADN nurses (only graduate BSN nurses) in specialty units. Just FYI

Neofax comes in a paper version also.

If you are questioning it I would just go ahead and get the BSN. It is usually only one more semester (Management, Research and Community Health). I hope that helps.

I'm new here, but am actually starting the NICU residency in January. My group had 40 applicants (before they stopped accepting applications) and they only had 10 spots open. However, I think if you are right for the position you will get it and if you aren't then you will get another job where you fit. You can ask me any questions about the interview/ application process. Also, I will keep you posted as I go through the program. :)
