Spring 2018 MDC Nursing Program

I applied to accelerated and full time generic as well.

Do you guys also plan on getting your BSN after?

Yeah I definitely plan on getting a BSN after this

Yes! Hopefully I can pass my damn microbio lab, I absolutely cannot stand it lol.

Yea I plan on getting the bsn. While I'm waiting I'm doing sociology and the microbiology lab.

I took that class a long time ago... great teacher but such an annoying class!

Many of the major hospitals in South Florida are requiring nurses to obtain the BSN within a certain period of time after employment. Below is an article that suggests that the BSN may become the standard for RNs.

The Future of Nursing: BSN by 2020: Current Articles: South Florida Hospital News

I also read a nursing survey that states that 70% of the hospitals in the state of Florida hire new BSN grads. So, for job security purposes it's a good idea to obtain a BSN in the immediate future. Not saying we can't get a job with the ASN, but the BSN makes us stronger applicants.

If you get accepted to both which one would you pick? I'm hoping people pick the generic so it'll increase my chances in the accelerated lol

thanks for the suggestion :)

maybe it would be a good idea to get the ASN first, get hired and get the BSN while working?

Wonder if that would work out....

I work at Baptist and many RN's do not have BSNs but who knows what the future holds...

Just out of curiosity, why do you prefer the accelerated?

Who did you have? I cannot stand the lab or the teacher, I'm pretty confused most of the time. I prefer anatomy and chem much better

So am I! Who are you taking lab with?

Totally doable, my brother did it and is now finishing up his ARNP online while working as well!
