RN-BSN Question

Hello Everyone!

I am finishing my ADN program this coming spring semester. I worked so hard and am hoping to land a job once i pass my NCLEX. It has always been a goal of mine to get my BSN. I am planning to attend an RN-BSN program fall 2012, thus I will be out of school for a year. I keep bumping into people who tell me this is a bad idea because I should go right into getting my BSN after my ADN because I am risking forgetting what I learned in nursing school.

My personal being is more important to me and I feel I need this year off. My question is: has anyone been in this position or know anyone who went back for their BSN? Was it hard for you? Thank you for all your input.

BTW I am hoping to attend SUNY downstate in NYC for the RN-BSN. Thank you all!:heartbeat

    I know a lot of nurses who have gotten their BSN later say it was pretty hard to find the motivation to get back into school once they were out. One year turned into 10yrs before they knew it. They have encouraged me to get my BSN right away instead of taking time off because i'll be in "school mode" still.

    I'd say it's up to you. It seems like the RN-BSN classes are fairly easy, like research and informatics. Plus, you'll have more to bring to the table as a nurse. Like for my informatics class, most of the more interesting discussion stems from those who are already nurses and thus, have more knowledge to build off of.
