RN-BSN??? HELPPP!!!

Published

I'm curious, would it be easier to get my ADN from a technical school first then apply to a RN-BSN program?

depends on your situation...there is a small window you have to still be hired without a BSN right now. I myself went ADN for two reasons, I had to work full time, so I needed an evening/weekend program. The ADN program I went through also had more clinical hours then any other school.

Right now I'm close to 3 months after graduation and almost 2 with my license. I live in a major metro area (phila) and am trying to find work. There are certain hospitals that require BSN- probably about half in my area. I would do some research for your area and see on RN postings if the hospitals are requiring BSN or not.

Not to mention the pain in the butt, I have to go back to school come January..may be a good idea to just get it all done and over with in one shebang?

Easier in what sense?

Neither route is particularly "easier"... there are pros and cons to each.

I'd look at your local colleges and find out which programs suit you best. I went the ADN route because I needed a night/weekend college so I could keep my job. Was it easier? who knows

I went the ADN route and wish I had done BSN bc I graduated in may and am looking at starting the BSN program in a few months.
