Congrats on getting an interview! I applied to the on-campus 2nd baccalaureate BSN program and haven't heard back about an interview. Good luck though!

Thank you for your helpful advice and tips adventure_rn! I am a hands-on learner so I think more experience while in school would be best. I have been researching more into BSN programs since I posted here and just learned that, for many schools, those who have a previous bachelors degrees are treated as transfer students into BSN programs. This information opens up many more programs as an option for me so thank you everyone!

Thank you for your advice applesxoranges! I believe that most of the programs I am looking at do not have a rolling waitlist anymore so everyone has to reapply every year. I have 4 programs on my list right now, and am still researching 3 other programs. It's crazy to hear how competitive these programs are, and how long people are waiting to get into programs!

Good call, thank you!

Thank you for your input Ruby Vee! There is a school I will be applying to that offers an ADN-BSN bridge program that is an additional year. I never thought about having an employer cover tuition for a BSN program. Thanks for the insight!

I received a bachelors degree in Kinesiology in 2011, and am now pursuing nursing. I have been researching ADN, BSN, and entry-level MSN programs in my area. I have all classes needed to cover pre-requisites for most programs I have researched, have my CNA certificate, and have many volunteer hours in various healthcare settings. I keep going back and forth, so I plan on applying to all programs. If it comes down to it though, I don't know which program I would go for. Does anyone have opinions, and advice for which program would be the best route for me? Has anyone been in this situation? How did you choose?
