I'm now in my second semester at fgcu and I love it! It's definitely really hard but I am learning SO much, especially now that I'm in clinicals. I would recommend going with the bsn if you have the opportunity. You will thank yourself down the road for not having to go back to school. But it's really up to you. If its really inconvenient to go to fgcu it may not be worth it. But I would get it all done in one shot if I were you. You're gonna be so tired of school by the time you get your degree, you might as well end with a bsn. But I do really love the program at fgcu! Lemme know if you have any other questions )
