I also have my BSN. I believe it would be better to go on BSN; most hospitals prefer BSN graduate. Holy Family University offers presidential scholarship for students with good GPA (your GPA will definitely get-in) aside from the FAFSA grant that you might get. You might save something now, but you'll still end up going to BSN, so why not go there directly. There is nothing to lose if you inquire. Good luck to you and I hope this helps.

Some facilities (rehab type) offer $27-28 base pay an hr. Some community hospitals offer $ 34~35 base pay. I know Jeff offers $33.76 base pay.

Hello HiddencatRN. Thanks so much! Now, I'm really sure that I want to do the BSN. Aside from TJU, what other school do you think is good in BSN that you can suggest?

Schap, thanks for the reply. TJU is actually the one I was talking about. I am trying to finish my pre-reqs also just to get into the BSN program on the Fall.

@CuriousMe, Thanks for the reply. I forgot to put where my location is -- which is Philadelphia. I heard that one school isn't offering ADN in Philadelphia anymore bec hospitals (in Philly) prefer BSN grads (maybe for inexperienced RNs only). I think it's a good idea to call some nurse recruiters --thank u..

Hello everybody. I'm a newbie, and I'm kinda confused to whether take the ADN then do RN-BSN later or go directly to BSN. Which is the more practical way (money and time wise)? I heard a lot of infos/rumors that hospitals preferably hire BSN rather than ADN, nowadays. I'm in my 40's and really in a rush lol.. Suggestions are very much appreciated..
