Should I get my ASN degree or finish my pre-requisites for a BSN

Published

Hello, everyone. I'm really having a hard time trying to make a very important decision. Right now, I'm a student at a community college trying to finish up the prerequisites that I would need to transfer to a 4- year university. I was wondering if I should go ahead and apply for the ASN program, since I am done with the prerequisites, or just finish the prerequisites for the BSN, which I only have 2 semesters left for.

Hello,

I would go for the ASN first, graduate, get your license, and a job. Then take the other classes for the BSN. The BSN is a very doable degree while you work. Also, getting into the ASN 2 semesters earlier, will get you a job earlier. No brainer in my mind. Cheers!

Right now I'm personally headed for my ASN so I can transfer and get my BSN. I want my ASN first so I can start applying for jobs to help pay for the tuition of a four-year college. Because my (financial) goal through college is to not go into (or have a minimal amount of) debt. That's just what I would do. Best of luck to you!!
