Associate of nursing and bachelor of science to bsn

I have an associate nursing degree and a bachelor of science in communication. I would like to have a bsn and think I would need a few more classes to accomplish this. I see all kinds of online and other university advertisement for rn to bsn, but cannot find any information on someone who already had a bachelors and a bs becoming a bsn...anyone know schools that do this or what exactly it may take to complete? Please help!
For most schools that offer RN-BSN programs, the classes required are strictly nursing related, so I don't think having a BS in Communications is going to shorten your schooling in any significant way.
I have a diploma in nursing and a BS in Biochemistry. Currently enrolled ar Ohio University. I think you should research school so see how much of your credits they will accept. OU accepted quite a bit of my credits from my previous BS degree. But my degree was science related.Here is a great OU university link:http://allnurses.com/distance-learni...rn-534171.html

since you already have your RN and a bachelors don't bother with the BSN. it's not worth it, you're already qualified for BSN jobs since you have both.it's much smarter to go RN to MSN route.
for management I think they would consider you w/o the BSN. I don't know where you live but in CA you can get your PHN with a BA + a community health class/clinical

Appreciate the input thus far! I am considering going the rn/msn route but I have small children and will probably put this big step off for a bit. The hospital I work for does not distinguish in pay an and and a bsn and they do consider my prior bs appropriate for management positions..though I am not intersted in management at this time. What I want to do is pick up an extra day as a clinical instructor and the school here requires a bsn to do this!
Quote from deltaroxxy2Think it depends on whether or not you work for a magnet facility. A lot of nurses (myself included) have had to go back to school in order to obtain our BSN b/c our hospital was now magnet. No promotions or job transfers w/out it.
Quote from pedicurnWould the magnet facilities allow an ADN -MSN instead? Or would a post-graduate diploma in nursing suffice?It seems a shame to have to earn a bachelors all over again.
