Purdue Professional Nursing Pathway Program

[kristindrenth]

I just applied to my program at Ivy Tech in Valparaiso on April 1st and am currently awaiting my letter! I was doing some research of different degree options once I get my ASN and came across this "purdue professional nursing pathway program" at PNC (now purdue northwest). It states that you can begin your BSN while working on your ASN. Has anyone done this or know anything about it? I can't find much information online and couldn't find any threads on here for it either!

I think you need to be in the ADN program at Purdue for that.

You can start after you graduate with your ASN from Ivy Tech but before you actually get your RN license. You must pass NCLEX within three months and all of your credits will transfer. I think there are 2 additional prereqs but you can take them through Ivy tech which is actually cheaper.

There are some good admissions people you can talk to there. You cannot concurrently do the ASN/BSN but they do take all of the credits. But most colleges in IN take Ivy Tech credits. The nice thing about Purdue was the classes were only 5 weeks long.
