Need some advice ...

Hi All,

So I am finishing up my BS in Healthcare Administration and want to eventually become a Nurse. I cannot start a nursing program until my husband (active military) gets out next year and we eventually settle down in one town (we move around alot).

I am going to start doing my pre-requisites online to get ahead but do you recommend going for a ASN or an accelerated BS-BSN ? I think you can complete a BS-BSN in the same amount of time as an ASN .....

If anyone can help that would be great
If you're able, go for the accelerated BSN because, with pre-reqs done it's only a year long and you get the BSN degree. It's tough and demanding and you lots of time for study, but it's worth it.
I had a bachelor's in business, but ultimately chose to go the ASN route as I wasn't willing to commit to the time of an accelerated BSN program at this point in my life. I had heard they were very time consuming and I wasn't sure if I would need to work and go to school and wasn't ready for totally crazy in my life. The BSN program was thousands of dollars to complete; my ASN was less than $4000 total. I can go to work now, get tuition reimbursement, and complete the BSN at my own pace.Now that I am close to getting my ASN, I plan to go back for my BSN once I am off orientation and training as a new grad. I understand that a local university offers a program that will only require 7 or 8 classes that are offered in 8-week sections. Additionally, there's also supposed to be another university that offers an online BSN. I haven't checked too closely in to either due to time constraints right now, but they're both reputable schools here in town.To my knowledge, there's only one hospital in town that offeres a differential of .50/hour for a BSN over an ASN. Anyway, that's why I made the choice I did. Good luck!!
