Hi everyone, I've been going back and forth on the topic of going into an ADN program or a second degree BSN program. (Feel free to skip the detailed information and go to the last paragraph ) I already hold a previous bachelors degree so the amount of time it would take to get an ADN is equivalent to the BSN program (2 years).. Right now I'm finishing up my last two pre-reqs Anatomy II and Microbiology at the community college which I am considering staying at to get my ADN. My plans has always been to take my last 2 pre-reqs at the community college and then apply to the BSN program. Now that I am at the community college I'm really liking it here. plus it's about 10 minutes away from my home vs the BSN program which i would have to commute a hour away, not to mention the community college is a bit cheaper, and i would only be take 1 or 2 nursing classes a semester (which seems like a lighter load than the 3-4 classes in the BSN program).. Before I came to the community college I never considered an ADN program, it didn't seem very sensible since i know i want to get my masters in nursing which means i would have to go back and get my bachelors after i graduate anyways... I just can't seem to figure out which is the best option and really wanted some input from you all. Do I go to the more expensive BSN program which is an hour away and 3-4 classes a semester.. Or do i stay at the community college which is 10 minutes away and go back for my bachelors later????? The BSN program requires a B average and the ADN program requires a C average not sure why, but do you guys think its possible to commute a hour, take 3-4 classes a semester, and easily maintain a B average?? I only ask because i know people who were living right on campus and got dismissed from the program due to not passing. Thanks in advance for your input Ms. Anthony
