What do I gain from getting a BSN?

Published

I graduated in June from PCC. I haven't gotten a job, its killing me. I am going to have to start paying student loans, so I'm thinking about, sigh, going to Linfield for my BSN. Is it worth it?? Can any current RN-BSN online students tell me what its like and how much study time it takes?

Hello,

A nursing advisor at PCC recently told me the difference b/t a AA and a BSN is a job. She said count on getting the BSN if I want a job.

Huh, thats funny. I thankfully just a got a job. I wonder which Advisor that was?? But I think I am still going to get my BSN.... I really just wanted to hear what people in the Linfield RN to BSN program thought about the work load.

Thanks!!!

Not really. I did have my EMT-B cert. in CA, but I never worked as an EMT. I saw another post you wrote. I would apply at all the colleges if you can. I know that clackamas and Mt hood are already part of the OCNE program and PCC is working on theirs. I would also apply at alll the BSn programs too. Why not? The worst they will say is no.... I did enjoy nursing school and I think that even though there is a nursing new grad crunch right now nursing is AWESOME. :yeah:

Specializes in ER, urgent care.

I did the Excelsior ADN program and got my RN and after I get through with being a "new nurse" I plan on doing their BSN program online. I have a family so online learning is great for me. Melissa RN EMT-P
