RN to MSN

Any second degree student's go this route. Looking over financial options I can walk out with maybe $5,000 to $10,000 of debt in a local associate program. Most of it will be interest free.

I heard when you go for a master's program financial aid hits a reset button.

Anywho go a similiar route? I am worried about the ADN not getting into the program or finding a job after completing the program. That's why applying to BSN program's less competitive in the state.

Appreciate the feedback.

You heard wrong about financial aid resetting. After you complete a bachelors, financial aid- except for scholarships and private loans - dries up. Your post is a little hard to follow btw.

So be better to exhaust financial aid and private loan's on a 4 year degree vs an ADN it seems.

I went the RN to BSN and then MSN because it was cheaper that way.

I don't know about a financial "reset" of a MSN (yet) but I can tell you as a "2nd degree" - I went ADN route, with the scholarships specifically from the college on the ADN level, I paid $2400 out of pocket for my ADN. I had multiple job offers prior to graduation. I'm not following WHY you would want to max out student loans for a 4 year degree.... I'm not following WHY you'd want to max out on loans for ANY REASON. But to answer the question, it's entirely possible to attain an ADN with very little debt, leaving you options for the more advanced degrees.
