I also applied for the day program and still waiting for the acceptance letter.

Hi, really appreciate your advise.

Hi there, I'm writing requesting advise and help in choosing RN vs BSN. I was in school for accelerated nursing program that takes 16 months to be completed. After the first month in the nursing school I found out that I had Hodgkin s lymphoma. So I dropped and received the treatment. Now the Dr. Released me to go back to school. However, the school was very expensive and my financial situation is critical so I had to find a job. Now I'm working but still dreaming of pursuing my BSN. I am thinking of either attend a college to get an RN in two years and then I can get into RN to BSN online. This way I can save money and might keep my job. Not sure about staying at work though since I have two little kids and would be hard to juggle between work, school and home. The second option is to quit the job and go back to finish the ABSN in 16 months. What is confusing me is time versus money. Which option I need to pick, to save time or to save money? Besides, hospitals in Philadelphia don't hire RN's without bachelor. So it will take me another 3 years at least to be able to work in a hospital. I really need help and advises from your experience. Thank you
