I have applied to ARC in Sacramento, California 4 times and have been turned down 4 times. The nursing programs in this area are heavily impacted and I have looked at Sac State to get my BSN but I am being told that they are just as bad. Has anyone heard of or know anything about Breckenridge School of Nursing, I know that I will only get my ADN from there and that they are fairly expensive but I have 3 kids and a disabled hubby so I am willing to take the ADN and go back later for my BSN. I guess my question is whether or not a hospital will look at my degree from a "vocational" school and put me at the bottom of the hire pile?
