Thank you, Andrew. As a future nursing student, I find this post very insightful. I just finished reading Bloom's Taxonomy and now I feel like I have a much better understanding of what you mean by studying testing strategies.

Thanks for the replies! I will definitely speak to the Admissions department (today). @Stephalump That is actually a very good point. I'm afraid to say I had completely overlooked that. I plan on going to grad school to pursue a master's in nurse anesthesiology, and those programs seem to require a couple of years of critical care experience before you are even considered as an applicant so. My original plan was to just get my ADN > RN licence and then finish the last 2 years at CC to get my BSN. Never even thought about getting a nursing job while attending the last 2 years of school. I feel really dumb right now..

I'm a 22 yo male who is going to attend community college and major in Nursing this spring 2013 semester. One of my biggest worries about higher education is debt. I have way too many friends who graduated in the past 2 years and are now living very stressful lives due to student debt. They all went to big universities where tuition w/ r&b cost them $25,000~ a year on average. Needless to say, I am trying to avoid falling into the same predicament if at all possible. The CC I will be attending has a partnership with one of the state's biggest universities, and basically what this means is that there is a facility in the CC campus that is run by the university's faculty. One of the programs that they offer is RN to BSN. When you graduate you get the BSN degree from the university. So I'm wondering if I should take this path and save myself tens of thousands. Does anyone have any experience with such programs? I'd love to hear what your experience was like. Thanks.
