Second Degree ADN

HI! I have a bachelor's degree in another field and am looking to get a degree in nursing and become an RN. I have done a fair amount of research into the accelerated BSN programs, the overall cost of the pre-reqs alone are more than some ADN programs in my area. I would feel better if I knew taking the pre-reqs would guarantee a spot in the program, but I know they do not. Is there anyone that can shine some light on getting their ADN post-bacc? Did it work well for you? Were you able to find a decent job after graduation? Have you done an RN to BSN program afterwards, and how did it go?

    When you realize that the job market leans ever more heavily to BSN, why would you want to waste your time with an associates degree first? Take your other degree to an accelerated bachelor's-in-anything-to-BSN and kill all those birds with one stone. Take the long view-- in five years you'll be way ahead.
