Hi everyone! I'm a respiratory therapist interested in nursing and I was wondering if there are any legit accredited RT to RN bridge programs online. Not Excelsior, I know they are accredited, but I've read HORRIBLE reviews about them. I just have my associates degree in respiratory. I was thinking of getting my bachelors in respiratory online then doing an accelerated BSN program in nursing, but I know accelerated BSN programs are EXPENSIVE. I work full time at night and I don't have the money (since you can't work while in school) and time to start an ADN nursing program from scratch.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! You just have your associates too?

Thanks! I didn't know that! I'll go for the ADN.

I live in NC in the Charlotte area.

Hi everyone!!!! I'm a 30 yo respiratory therapist and I'm very interested in going to nursing school in a year or two. I have an associates in respiratory care. I was thinking of getting my bachelors in respiratory and then applying to an accelerated BSN program and on the other hand I was thinking of just getting an ADN and then doing an RN to BSN Progtam after I work for a year or two. But then I was wondering if it would be harder for me to get a job with just an ADN. I know employers like to hire grads with BSN's, but I want to work for a while after I obtain an ADN. I just don't know what route would be easier!
