Ok so I'm doing my core and prerequisites right now because I'll need them no matter what route I take. I'm concerned to be on the wrong route because I don't want to waste time or money. At this point I figured I'd get my ADN then try to find a job and work on my BSN but if it's not possible to get a job with an ADN I don't want to waste 2 years on that.... Anyone have any guidelines or advice? In the long run I'd like to finish with my MSN in midwifery or nurse practitioner ( still stuck in the middle with those two....) if it helps I'm in Texas and don't plan on moving my family much outside of dfw area or east Texas area.
