Thank you for the responses! Very helpful. To cmw6v8- congrats on beginning the program! So you are in a traditional bsn program? The bsn programs I have looked into (all in California, where I live) are generally 3 years, vs the accelerated bsn which tends to be 12-18 months. Is that how long yours is? I figure if I go back to school for another 3 years I should just get an MSN. I guess this will all come to me when I am done with my prereqs, there are just so many factors to weigh, and funding is a huge issue for me! Thanks again though for the advice!

Ok, so I am sure there are already postings for this kind of stuff, but it's hard to find specific information here sometimes (for me, anyway!). I am graduating this quarter with a BA in sociology. Last year I decided I want to go into nursing but because the major isn't offered at my school, I am finishing and then starting prereqs. My question is this... what do i do? get on a wait list for the adn? apply to super competitive accelerated bsn or entry level masters programs? I am not sure I want to go back to school for another 4 years, and I really can't imagine accumulating more student loans, seeing as I have about 30,000 from undergrad. So I guess I am just trying to get some advice from people who are going through or have gone through this same dilemma. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much :)
