Wow Thanks to all who responded/continue to respond...there are so many options on this issue...I'm still on the fence between a RN vs BSN program. :redbeathe :yeah:Thanks "WantAccel.BSN". I work for LA County and you must def understand my frustration in the field of social work...I went from 35 cases to 23 so I'm finally breathing at the moment but I still deal with crisis daily. I love what I do but the work is never done, it's underappreciated, and underpaid...I think it's time to look into another helping profession. Thanks " ED4Life" for the info. I'm trying to figure out if its more feasible to move back at home (Maryland) and go to a CC or try the Accelerated BSN at Univ. of Maryland (my alma matter) or Georgetown University (private school in DC). As far as getting in I don't know if I have a better chance of getting into MD or Cali. I'm hearing horror stories of years of how long the wait list are in Cali for CC and BSN but I'm still researching...If I stay here I'm looking at Azuza Pacific Univ. in Azuza, Pasadena City College, or maybe up North SF State U, or Univ. of SF, inside/outside the city. As for Financial Aide....is it just me or that for second degree'ers there are no grants/pell grants out there...I did my FAFSA for Spring 09' and I didn't qualify for any grants (of course) b/c I'm working FT right now...but is it true say I quit my job and go PT next year and then re-do my FAFSA I will be able to get some grants then? So many questions...

Ok here is my situation and any feedback is very much appreciated.... I have my masters in social work and I am seriously thinking about going back to school for nursing. I have done some research on RN & BSN programs and the requirements involved, and I noticed that every school is different in regards to the pre-req's. Which program (RN vs BSN) would be more feasible to complete within 2 years as well as cost and not to mention which program would be easier to get accepted in the state of California or Maryland?
