I hate to be curt, but nowhere in my post did I mention an assumption to get into CU's nursing school would be easy. I am fully aware how difficult it is to gain admission; my fiance is going through that nightmare right now. As far as waitlists go, you are truly mistaken. The universities here in Colorado with the exception of CU Denver have 2-4 year long waitlists for the nursing programs. Sorry if that came across as rude, but it irritates me when people place words in my mouth and then have no idea of that which they speak. And I did not indicate if I have support, but I do not. I would love to acheive my BSN, but if my ADN is essentially the same then I would complete a bridge program to my BSN. Thanks for your help.

I guess I can start off by saying that I am new to this site, so hello all. I just want to get some answers, I suppose. I was originally looking at becoming an RT, but the costs for school were ungodly and I have been told my family that I would be a better nurse anyhow. Not to say that getting your BSN is cheap, hence why I am asking if getting my ADN would be equally beneficial. The ADN program at my local community college is cheap, however there is a waitlist due to all the people aspiring to be nurses here in Colorado. Whereas at CU Denver, there is no waitlist but all they offer is the BSN program. And I could spend two years working on my Bachelor's and then go through my Work Site program at CU Hospital. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you so much.
