I recently graduated with my BA in Religious Studies/Psychology with the intention of attending graduate school for school counseling. However, I have found from different forums and really just keeping an eye on openings that there aren't that many jobs in the field.
I have been interested in the possibility of going back to school for nursing, but I am concerned with finances. I know that the associates program will be cheaper, and then since I already have a BA, I'm assuming the RN/BSN will be cheaper as well.
However, from reading similar posts, I am aware that BSNs are preferred over ADNs (please advise if incorrect!). I think I would be open to getting my BSN straightaway, but I am concerned that I might not be able to work, more loans, etc.
Has anyone had any experience with this before? Any advice??
Also, if this helps, I am currently in Blacksburg, VA and would be pursuing this either here in the NRV/Roanoke, or Hampton Roads/Norfolk/Va Beach area!
It warms my heart to see another SBC Vixen on here!!! #SaveSweetBriar!
I ended up working at SBC for 4 years (still there) and will be working there up until June 30th. I'm going to finish up my last pre-req this summer (A&P I) and will be applying to the ADN program at Centra School of Nursing. My plan is to land a job as an RN and then do a bridge program for RN-BSN. I don't have those dolla-dolla billz to afford the second BSN. How'd you do it? Any financial aid? Scholarships?
Find me on Facebook...Megan Knight Bowling! I just got loans, to add to my SBC loans but I am okay with it! I have a degree in Italian and like you absolutely no regrets! Best years of my life were at SBC. I am here on campus now studying at the library. I intend to spend as much time as possible here.
