I already have a bachelors degree so that's why I was looking into the accelerated program. But with me having three kids everything will be on my husband since we have no family here in Texas. So a traditional program may work best for me since it will be at a slower pace. I looked into ADN programs since I know it would be more financial friendly but I do worry about job potential since many hospitals in the DFW area are now looking for BSN grads and BSN grads for residency programs.

Thank you ladies for your insight. I will really consider looking into a traditional BSN program vs accelerated program.

Hi, I am considering making a career change to nursing here in FTW with an ultimate goal of becoming a NP one day.( looking into UTA accelerated BSN program). I have been a stay at home mom for almost 3 years to three kids (6 yr old, and a set of 3 yr old twins) and ready to return to work. My last career didn't fulfill my helping others passion and it's even stronger now since I have been a sahm. I'm a little concerned with this move , are new grad nurses having a hard time finding a job or getting into a residency program? How is the new grad job market? Also, how difficult is it going to nursing school with kids?
