Hello, so I just got accepted into Lone Star CyFair ADN program for Spring 2022. I also applied to UTHealth Accelerated BSN program for Spring 2022, and it looks like I will be denied. I’m stuck with whether I should accept my spot for ADN program and later bridge ADN-BSN or just reapply for UTHealth Summer 2022. I really want to finish school and get into the nursing field ASAP as I have been in school for a long time. I’m ready to start my career.
I am concerned because I have heard a lot of hospitals are not hiring ADN nurses in Houston anymore, and some that are hired had good connections or prior experiences. So I’m really considering if I should just reapply for UTHealth Summer 2022. If I go the Lone Star ADN route, it would take me longer still to achieve my BSN end goal. I’m just not sure if I should gamble the ADN route with the possibility of not being able to find a job as a new graduate to build experience.
I have even considered attending ADN program in the Spring, and then if I get accepted for BSN Summer program, to drop out of the ADN program and accept the BSN program as I would still finish faster. Was wanting to hear other students/nurses/recruiters’ views.
