I am about to graduate from a university with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Bachelors of Science in Spanish. I would really like to go into nursing. I've already been accepted into a school where I will get my RN/BSN in a short amount of time, but it is kind of expensive (about $6700 a semester). It is NOT an accelerated program. I have a LOT of science credits that will transfer in, so it should take me about 2 years or a year and a half. Since I already will have 2 bachelors degrees, would it be better for me to just go through an ADN program that would be cheaper like at a community college? Eventually, I would like to go through a MSN or DNP program to be a nurse practitioner and I've looked and they all say to have a BSN --or--your ADN with a previous bachelors in a different field, but I'm wondering if it'd look better that I went to a nice school for BSN instead of a community college for ADN. I'm just trying to decide what would be better for my career in the long run. I'm trying to factor in money, but loans are an option. I understand that some jobs will pay me to go back and get my BSN online, but should I just spend the extra money and get it all over with up front?? I'm so torn on what to do. Please help!!!
