RN to BSN

[Rhody34]

Hello all. This may be a bit premature of me- but I'm already thinking about how I can get my BSN (as quickly as possible) after completing my ADN from CCRI. I have this summer off, then have 2 semesters left at CCRI. I will graduate in May 2012. I want to start working as an RN obviously right away, but at the same time want my BSN asap to hopefully get me into a position I really want. I have a psychology degree from URI, so part of me feels like it might make sense just to go to URI- but while researching RN to BSN programs, the RIC course load looks lighter. For example URI has organic chem listed, whereas RIC doesnt. Does any one have any knowledge or experience as to the quickest path for RN to BSN? Which RI 4 year school has the shortest completion time? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! :-) Thank you in advance.

Rhody 34, RIC has a RN to BSN program. This program is ONLY for students who hold a RN license. Im in the same EXACT boat as you. You should really look into this program. It appears you only need to take 4 classes....not bad :) Plusssssss...alot of places do tuition reimbursement. You can work as a nurse and continue your degree... Good Luck.

Thanks Jada! Thats what Ive been hearing! Getmeoutofthehouse- I already hold a BA from URI and have already completed Chem and Organic Chem from a previous degree there, so I dont think I'd have to take it again. Ive actually heard the only "difficult" course was research... and community, leadership, etc. were "a breeze"... heard that from numerous people. From what I've heard though, I've been told RIC is a better RN to BSN program regardless of my previous URI degree... so I'm thinking RIC will be the route I take. I graduate from CCRI this May... cant wait!
