No I have not considered the direct entry MSN RN-NP program. That would be another option to consider since I have ready have a degree. Thanks!!!

Thank you...this website is amazing. I really appreciate your comment.

Great advice...I really appreciate it.

Thank you for your response. The 80k was a mis-calculation and the estimated cost is around 30k ADN and to continue with the accelerated BSN with be the additional cost. However, I did some research and found out my job will pay for me to go to nursing school full time once accepted. Nevertheless, I appreciate you questioning my business background.

Thanks for you response. My issue is finding an evening program that will still allow me to work during the day. Nevertheless, I have inquired and my job will pay for me to go to nursing school full time once accepted.

Thanks for all the responses. I will seek tuition reimbursement from my job and hopefully find another program that will fix with my schedule.

Thanks for your response. However, I never said that I would to be able to pay cash...I just wanted to know I would be able to get financial aid. In addition, I will not be attending a community college, I will be attending a private school with with the estimated cost to be between $70k to $85k with books and all other fees. I am just trying to look at my options and to see if anyone have gone through my experience.

I have an MBA and MHA and I am considering getting an RN license. I currently work in a hospital on the administration management side and I would like to work on the clinical side. However, I am not a clinical person. I have always wanted to be a nurse but decided to go a different route. I have a strong compassion for patient care. I have looked into various bachelors and masters program for those who are considering nursing as a second career. However, they are all on a full-time basis. Therefore, I am considering an ADN program whereas I can attend part-time. I will start taking my prerequisites this Fall. My question is if I already have a graduate degree will I been able to get financial aid for ADN or will I have a pay out of pocket? Thanks for your help.
