Well, I got into both programs. I have decided to go to the BSN program!

well i just got a letter from the adn program and i was accepted! i called the bsn program and they said they will be sending out letters this week, so i should know by next week if i got in there or not. i decided not to apply to the msn program. a few things have changed in my life since i applied to the nursing programs and now i am having a tough time deciding what i should do. should i be happy that i have a good paying job (probably making more than most nurses make starting out) in this economy or should i go back to school? i think i would be happier with the nursing field, but i would be more secure financially in the short term if i just stuck with my current job.

The reason I was thinking they would be equivalent is, from what I have hear, the nursing parts of a ADN and a BSN are essentially the same or very similar (maybe this is incorrect though). IF that is correct I don't see any difference between having a BSN or having an ADN + a BS in another field, since I would have completed the same nursing coursework and the completed same generals...

I already have BS in a field other than nursing and I am going to be applying to nursing programs this winter so I can hopefully start in Fall 2009. I am going to apply to a ADN program, a BSN program, and a MSN program (for students who have a bachelor degrees in other fields). What I am wondering is if I would basically have the same status if I end up with my BS in another field + an ADN as someone who just has a BSN when applying for jobs. I really like the school I am doing my prereq's at (which would be the same school as the ADN program) and the cost of the ADN program is a lot less. Thanks for your thoughts.
