RN Vs. BSN program, which one is less competitive?

knock...knock?....yep YOU may come in, every is welcome here! :biggringi

Okay guys, I have my AA degree with all the prerequite classes done, but i am not sure which program is best for me or which one is a bit easier to get in? Or are they equally hard to get it? :uhoh21:

Is it less competitive to get in RN-BSN? Would it be a smart idea to get RN license first and then apply to BSN ? If i go this route, then I will have to retake some clasess that aren't not w/n the past 5 years? Do you guys happen to know what are those classes that have to be w/n past 5 years? oh boy......this is complicated stuff! lol

What do you guys think?

Any ideas/inputs/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

MBA, if you don't mind can you tell me a little bit more about RN-BNS bridge? like how does it work?

I forgot to mention in my other post that there is no guarantee I will be admitted into the RN-BSN program I am looking to attend. Although my school has an agreement to take my CCs nursing students, they only have an agreement to take a small number of the best nursing students on an early admissions basis. So, I will have to apply and submit letters of recommendation (preferable from nursing school instructors) as well as submit an essay and be interviewed.

This pokes holes into the theory some are throwing around that admissions into RN-BSN programs is easy. I am only optimistic I will get in because I am highly competitive and so if there is at least one spot for early admissions, one of those spots belongs to me! :monkeydance:

So again, talk to a counselor/advisor and do research on the pass rates for the NCLEX, the graduation rates, the costs of attending, as well as the competitiveness in applying to your schools of interest. Good luck. :nurse:
