i need advice on my nursing careerRating: (votes: 0) I plan to get my BSN asap, but I am doing ADN first because it will be soooo much cheaper! RN-BSN bridge programs can take 12-18 months and you can work as an RN while going. Seems much better to me! Comment: I earned my ADN and now getting BSN online. I wish I had gotten the BSN out of the way but it wasn't practical for me to do so. If there are jobs in your area you can work as an RN and complete the BSN in your spare time. I recommend Ohio University!Comment: It depends on your situation. If you can afford to go through to get your BSN for however long it takes and you have the support system at home, financially and otherwise, I say do it. If not, there's nothing wrong with taking it one step at a time. There are so many RN to BSN bridge programs online, you can find one with the least amount of pre-reqs. I noticed that there are so many schools offering Nursing online. Even schools like Georgetown University in Washington D.C. and Duke University in NC. Granted these schools are expensive, but this is just to show you that you can find a very reputable school. Check with your State's BON for a list within your area if you prefer to stay local. If you take the traditional route, you may be taking several courses at once, but many (if not all) of the online programs are set up so that you take one course every 5weeks. I think that is less stressful. This will allow you to get some experience under your belt while you continue your education. Some of these schools have multiple start dates, which means that you don't have to waste an entire semester waiting to get in. I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck.
