That's awesome, congratulations! What state are you in?

Thank you all for your responses!

I am getting ready to graduate with my ADN and am worried about getting hired as I know most places are looking for BSN graduates. I also have no healthcare experience. Do hospitals still hire ADN students? Any input would be helpful :)

So how did block 2 go? I start in a few weeks!

Wow! Thank you all so much for all of the information. Yes, I did mean the ADN vs the BSN, sorry for the confusion. I was concerned about time too, which is why I was leaning towards Chamberlain where I would earn a BSN, whereas GWCC I would have an ADN. I didn't know that NAU offered that RN-BSN option starting in Block 3. I will definitely look into that! I was interested in the CEP program, but once you are accepted you can't apply for it and I didn't want to defer from this opportunity. Do you know if ASU and GCU offer the same program that NAU offers starting in Block 3? I will most definitely be looking into this! Thank you everyone again!

Thank you for your response. I had a friend also told me that hospitals are not even hiring RNs at all anymore? My other thought was possibly getting a job as an RN in a hospital after graduation as I do the online RN-BSN program through one of Arizona's universities. I will not be working when I am in the program because I want to be dedicated and focused on nursing school, however if it is true that hospitals do not hire RNs, that will put me out of work for another year until I am able to complete the RN-BSN portion. Is it true that hospitals are not hiring RNs anymore? I find this odd, I know they are hired few and far between but if they weren't being hired, they wouldn't have just an RN program, right?

Hello! It has been a while since I have posted, but I am stuck in a predicament. I was accepted to Chamberlain College of Nursing in Phoenix, and was looking forward to starting in January. I am all set to start there. However, Friday night I got an email I had been anticipating for over a year. I finally got placed into the GateWay community college 4 semester traditional nursing program, also starting Spring 2015. I am now trying to decide what option will be better for me. Chamberlain costs an arm and a leg, but I will get done and have a BSN in 2 and a half years. GateWay is much more affordable, however I would only be getting my RN, and would need to continue on to get my BSN anyway. I have also had the question in the back of my mind, is Chamberlain really a recognized school? I wondered if a hospital would hire a university grad over a Chamberlain grad, so this thought also worries me. I do not know what to do! If anyone could give me some sort of insight or advice, it would be GREATLY appreciated! I just do not know which path to take!!!

did your email come straight from your advisor? If it did, who is yours?

Im seriously going insane, still nothing!!!

Lindsay, who is your advisor? I wonder if they are still sending emails, or if they are done for the night?

Nope, nada! I would be the only one!

Congratulations! You should all be very proud of yourselves!

I have checked every junk/spam folder I have! Still nothing! Ugh I also sent in my application within like the last couple days so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it? Gah I don't know haha just trying to figure it out!

Am I the only one who still has not gotten anything?

Ok I am refreshing my email so often I can't take this! Any new acceptance letters? Stressing over here!!!!!
