Well I am a nursing student who is not yet in the program, the route I am going is I am doing all of my Prerequisites at Sac City College (cause I believe the classes are probably a little easier than at Sac State) and then I am going to apply for the BSN Program through Sac State. A BSN I think is a better route to go because I figure if your doing it now you may as well keep going till its really done. There are many reasons I want the BSN Degree 1. More money 2. Better Position 3. Close to having a Masters 4. Much more qualified for just about any job in your specific field. 5. In much more of a demand. My goal is to get the BSN Degree through Sac State and then Work while I continue to get my Masters, so that I have many many options. Like for instance 1. Work for the Hospital as an R.N. 2. Open my own practice with a Dr. Partner (I want to be a Mid-Wife) 3. And if I get tired of being a nurse, well then I could teach nursing at a college How about that for options in Life? :)
