I understand money is a really big issue for most people as is the amount of time invested. The way the industry is moving, magnet being one of the factors, is to have as many RN's with BSN as possible. Many hospitals right now will not hire you unless you walk in with RN, BSN Something to keep in mind.

I think if you did well in the pre-reqs especially the science courses it would go a long way in helping you get in. Bio, chem and microbiology in my opinion are the classes that might carry the most weight with adcom. The previous clinical experience is a def bonus. If you need to take an admissions test, make sure you rock it so it doesn't leave any questions regarding your ability. I had a 2.7 undergrad gpa. I spent time in ems, got A's on my pre-reqs and took the admissions test for nursing and scored in the 95% percentile. I ended up with ASN and BSN. I had a guidance counselor tell me I wouldn't get into a nursing program and should give up. I'm telling you, don't give up. Passed NCLEX on the first attempt at 75 questions and never looked back.
