Please excuse me... at the time of this posting I didn't realize that below the BSN level, the only other nurse licensing option is ADN. Leaving no such thing as a certificate program or "certified nurse" credentials that can be obtained. As I continue to think about this, wouldn't it be better time wise to just go for the BSN (possible 3 year path in my case) right away instead of doing 2 years chasing the ADN followed by an additional 2 years for the BSN? Let's not forget 2 more years if I decide to go for the CRNA once I get my BSN and some work experience.

Hi All, Part 1 I'd would like to know if 1) I should see how many of my 70 credits from 1992 transfer over toward my pre-reqs for Clayton State's or Georgia State's BSN program. I think I will have to spend most of 2012 fulfilling the remaining pre-reqs for acceptance to either of their BSN programs. Or 2) Should I spend 2012 enrolled in some kind of certificate RN licensing "course" (outside of Clayton & GSU) which may fulfill the pre-req requirements for their BSN programs and possibly allow me to get into the field earlier, providing experience during the future BSN classes? If so, recommend courses/schools in Georgia would be appreciated. Part 2 I'm trying to decide if I can take on a day job while going for my BSN. Are there BSN programs that can be taken at night? Lastly, while I be able to pursue the CRNA while working a full time day job?
