AG-RN

mcastro...Yes, I decided to go to BSN program at University of North Alabama. Its a great program and I start on August 24th. I decided to work and take my time and progress to MSN maybe a year or two from now. Thanks for your all advice.

I was thinking about going there. How is it??

HAHA! that is funny...you took calculus and now you have to back track to statistics. You gotta love these program course requirements (sarcastic). Congrats on your acceptance!

Sanuk thanks for your advice...I will look into TWU. I have been getting really frustrated with trying to find a program that is the right fit for me. It is almost like a full time job trying to find a program that fits "our" situation with these degrees I have because a lot of programs are not designed for a RN with a science BS degree. They are for RN (associate with no other degree) to BSN or MSN ....and BSN-MSN. But I will keep searching...

mcastro thanks for your advice....I will see about UTEP awarding a BSN while earning MSN. I am pretty sure I want to become NP vs admin,edu, specialist. Any advice about good RN-BSN online programs? Western Governors Univ has one that I can complete in 6 mo but I have my suspicions because I have always gone to state schools for my prior degrees. Any thoughts??

I currently have an RN (ADN) with a BS (Biology/chemistry) and would like to continue on to obtain my BSN and/or MSN (family nurse practioner). I have been searching the web for programs. So far I found a few programs but they all have there draw backs: Texas Tech (this is the only school where my GA hist course doesn't transfer over to their Texas Hist course, so I would have to take it which would last a whole semester just for this one course before beginning their program). That's time and money! Regis University (I didn't see a length of time, anyone have comments/remarks??) UTEP will accept me into their MSN program (bypassing the BSN)....Also, it is 2 1/2 years in length ....kinda lengthy considering there are programs at other schools (like Univ of South Alabama) that let non-nursing bachelor degree students complete there entire BSN and MSN in 2 years.. ....and I'm looking into Univ of South Alabama too... Any other suggestions for my situation??? Thanks!
