ADN is he better way to go, much cheaper and same level of education. Actually better in most cases. I work with BSN and they drop out or fail as much as anyone. You will be judged on your level of on the job work not where you went to school or your degree anyone who says different is ignorant. Lots of very successful people in many areas of business don't even have degrees at all, based on the previous posters standard only people with high degrees are successful in their respective fields, let's get real folks. This is all about application in the end not what degree you have or the school you attended, btw, I'm a RN with a MA.
