Hi, guys!! My twin sister and I both got in! We accepted and can't wait to start and meet everyone!!!!(: -Lindsay

Hi, everyone! I need some help because I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to choose between two nursing programs. I'm a transfer student from California and I got into a 2-year city college ADN program, that also has the possibility to do your RN-BSN while in the ADN program. Which is an additional semester after I'm done with my ADN because I will be completing my BSN while in my ADN program(this is a special program the city colleges offers to speed up your BSN). The city college is extremely cost effective and cost about $6,000 for the ADN program + books and insurance that comes with the program. I could live at home and live only 10 minutes from the school. In total this program is two and a half years. I also got accepted into Thomas Jefferson University 2 year bachelors program in Philly. Their graduate school is number four in the country and really well know hospital in the East Coast. They have their own hospital where most of the clinicals take place as well as other surrounding hospitals. It is a private school and cost $34,000 a year + moving across the country, rent($850/month), books, and insurance. Both schools have high NCLEX passing rates and are both hard programs to get into. I'm in my early twenties and have the opportunity to experience another city, but also have this opportunity to save a lot of money and stay local. I also plan on going to graduate school to become a Nurse Practitioner. Basically, is there any advantage to getting my BSN directly verse going to a city college and getting my ADN and pursing my BSN while doing my ADN plus an one additional semester. I'm really torn because I was planning on going to Philly and then this opportunity to go to a city college came up. I'm open to stay home, but will move to Philly if there is more of an advantage to getting my BSN from a University. I need any advice I can get!!

Hi! I received an email from the school last Tuesday about my acceptance, and Friday I got the packet in the mail!

Hi guys! Found out last week I got into the fall 2016 BSN program! (Transfer student) been reading this blog without posting but feel I should join in now!

What program did you get into?

Thank you for your response! I'm not looking for a party drinkin scene anyway. More seeking the moving away and independent feeling.

Hi thank you for your response. I'm not much of party or drinking person anyways. I think I was seeking that moving away independence feeling. Not sure if I should just apply to the private schools here that will accept me easier then university nursing program.

Hi guys! I'm applying to nursing school in the fall(2015). I have Chem and Micro left, but have completed Anatomy, Physiology, Bio, Stats, etc. I have an overall gpa of 3.8 and want to apply to bigger universities for a BSN program. I'm currently at a city college Los Angeles looking for somewhat of a college experience because I'm only 20 and still want to experience college. Also I don't mind going out of state. I have a few internships and hospital hours on my resume but still feel like thats not enough. I feel like transferring from a city college to a bigger university is impossible and the only option are private schools like West Coast University and National University. I'm not opposed to going to those schools but that doesn't allow me to experience college. I also feel like universities main priority is their own students making the acceptance rate even lower. Just looking for some advice from some fellow pre nursing students!
