You all are SO wonderful! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to answer some of my questions. I just had so many different people telling me so many different things and was so confused. I've come to realize that the ADN programs here in California are so full it's almost impossible to get in right away. I guess I'll just have to go through a different route to get my RN. Or possible even be an LVN and then go to the BSN-RN track. whoo. lots of schooling. Thank you again for your help! :redbeathe

Hello Everyone, I'm really new to researching about nursing and all of the different programs out there. I'm really interested in pursuing nursing and had a number of questions that I really couldn't find the answers to anywhere so I'm asking for help please! I graduated with a B.S. in Biology but unfortunately my gpa doesnt meet the minimum 3.0 requirement so I cannot apply directly for a ELMSN so I was thinking of getting an ASN in nursing and then applying to an MSN program in the future. My questions are: 1) Can you apply with an ASN degree to an MSN degree program later if you don't have a BSN? 2) Do you absolutely need a BSN to pursue an MSN for California schools? 3) Does anyone know of any ASN nursing programs that start spring 2010 4) Also, does anyone know if a BSN school HAS to be CCNE accredited in order to apply for graduate programs in the future? Thank you very much in advance for anyone who is kind enough to help me out! That's all for now! :)
