Go for the ADN. I have a BA in a liberal arts major and then graduated with ADN. Before I received my ADN, I did a lot of research and visited several schools. The fastest way for me was the ADN. The problem with the accelerated BSN is that most schools give you problems when you try to transfer your general education and prerequisite courses that you already have taken. So it looked like I would have to RETAKE a lot of courses because the BSN schools would not give me credit for it. You also have to take any additional upper division courses that the BSN schools want in order to graduate even though you have a BA. The ADN accepted all my general education courses. My prerequisite courses were accepted. So I only had to take Nursing courses only. If you want to get another degree after you have your RN license, I would go to an accelerated MSN program to get a nurse practitioner license. You have more flexibility. The MSN also allows you to go into clinical specialty or teaching if you like these areas.The MSN program,for example, requires a bachelor's degree in any major, and a RN license. The program takes about 2 1/2 to 3 yrs. The BSN takes about the same amount of time. In the end you'll only end up with a BA in Sociology and a BSN.

PVT works!!! Checked my name on the CA BON and my name was there 5 working days later. Checked PVT 2 days after taking the test. The pop up says, "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold.A new registration cannot be created at this time." Checked PVT the next day and got the GOOD pop up,"Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact the Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time."Since I had the "on hold" message the first time trying PVT, I was worried that I did not pass. Anyways, as long as the computer blocks you from registering and putting in cc info, you passed. between similiar sounding diseases and meds to do better on the SATA and priority questions. DEEP BREATHING in between EVERY question really helped me. It helped me to stay focused, prevented me from thinking that I will get the question wrong and enabled me to go to the next question without giving up. Took my time on every question although I've been told to answer the question in 1 to 2 minutes.:heartbeat:clown:
