Yes and thank you. My mistake I meant ADN or BSN. I live in NYC the opportunities for ADN and BSN vary. The magnet hospitals only take nurses with Bachelors degrees, but the public hospitals take ADN-RN. I happen to work at one of the magnet hospitals as a Medical Assistant. I think my worries, are based on finances, time and the fact that I'm not as young as most nursing students, I feel I have more of a time crunch, then again time is part of the journey. hopefully i will figure it out.

I have been pursuing a career in nursing for sometime now. Unfortunately life happens. I was unable to physically attend school. For the past 1.5 years I have been taking classes online. I'm currently enrolled in a SUNY school which allows me to take all my classes online. I am one class away from obtaining my AAS. I am also taking a medical math as a prerequisite to an extremely competitive nursing(RN) program at BMCC. My question is should i try to get into a bachelors program for nursing or do the RN program and eventually do BSN? Like most I work full-time as a Medical Assistant. I am married and I have two kids. I have to work in order to pay for school so although i have thought about it i cant quit my job and go to school full-time. what do i do? NYC doesn't have a lot of option for evening programs. I don't know what to do. any suggestions?
