In 1991 I Returned To School After Having My 3rd Child. I Thought I Would Be Happy With Just An Asn But Guess What, I Enrolled Last Fall To Continue Towards My Bsn. I Wish That I Had Just Continued Towards My Bsn. Nursing Is Becoming Selective And Having Your Bsn Nowadays Opens Alot Of Doors. So If I Where You I Would Go For It Before Kids Come Into The Picture. I Went Back To School, Raising 3 Kids, 8,4,2. To This Day I Still Am Amazed That I Finished. But There Where Alot Of Sleepless Nights. My Family Was Still My #1 Priority, But I Had To Compete With Alot Of Young Women And Men For A Spot In The Nursing Program. Grades Had To Be Good. So From Experience, You Will Be So Grateful That You Went For The Bsn. Good Luck.
