  4. I don't think that obtaining your Bachelors has any weight when it comes to acceptance into an ADN program. The CC in my area has an Accelerated ASN program only offered to applicants who have already...

    Choosing the right Degree

    I wouldn't necessarily say it's better or worse. I guess it's just more personal preference. I will be completely new to the nursing field and want to get the BSN first. I don't want a general MSN...
