This fall (2013) I must apply for nursing school. I have two choices that I would prefer over any back up plan. I can either go to the nursing program at the CC (North Central Texas College) that I am currently attending, or transfer to a university (Texas Woman's University) and attend their BSN program. It will only take me a semester longer to complete the BSN program but, it is about $15,000 more in tuition. If I were to go the nursing program at the community college, it would be very cheap and the college is in good standing with hospitals that are in my area. But, I would only receive an associates. If this were my route to take, I would end up taking an RN-BSN program, but the terminal cost is still cheaper than the BSN program. The BSN program is about an hour (including traffic) of driving to Dallas, and clinicals could be more or less.. It is obvious that I would not be able to work at all during this program. The ADN program is close to my mom's house. So I would be able to live with her, which she is absolutely thrilled at the thought of. I haven't lived with her since her and my dad split when I was 12. We get along great though. The ADN program is also cheaper, and I would be able to work during it (I have talked to many of the students who have worked as a CNA throughout the duration of the program). I do not know the difficult of RN-BSN programs, and I do not know how difficult it would be to work as an RN during the program so I came here for advice--particularly due to the fact that my family is biased. To tell you more about myself, I am 18 and still live with my parents. I plan to live with them until I am an RN. The ADN program would begin in Spring 2014, the BSN in Fall 2014.
