Thank you all for your responses, it has greatly helped. I do think I will be applying to an accelerated BSN program, probably Mount St. Mary's, Azusa Pacific and Loma Linda University since there is not to many to many to pick from in Southern California. Many thanks and best of luck to all of you :)

Thanks for your input Tinker and wayover20, much appreciated. I know I'll have to way out the pro/cons and if am able to financially do an accelerated BSN program vs and ADN ...BUT really...is there is a big difference between a BSN and already having a B.S. although it's not in nursing??

I have already graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology in 1999 and now I want to start a nursing career. Since I am 29, not married, no kids and currently working for a nonprofit as a Health Initiatives Director I want to make the best decision with my time. I have all my prereqs except for Microbiology, which I will be taking in January and hopefully I will get accepted to a program in the Fall 2004. With having a B.S. and strong administration/work experience I am not sure if I would need a BSN. Need your help... would you recommend a BSN or an ADN program since I already have a B.S.??
