Employment in DC area with ADN or BSN program based on my previous education/exp?

Hi all!

I am applying to a 1 year accelerated BSN program and an ASN program for Fall 2012. I am really leaning towards the ASN. The BSN program is over 40K and the ASN will cost me maybe 9K. I have bachelors in biology and masters in health administration. I want a BSN but the cost for all of the nursing programs in this area is just ridiculous with the exception of GMU. (By the way, I got both my degrees from GMU and would like a change so I am not pursuing their 1 yr BSN. Plus they would make me take micro over and I just graduated in 2007!--I'm not a fan of the 5 yr rule)

I am in the DC area and concerned about getting looked over if I have an ASN but I am wondering if already having a bachelors and masters in health related fields will make me just as competitive as a BSN. Also, I've done administrative internships/had jobs/projects at hospitals in the area so all that stuff is on my resume.

I would be more than happy to do a bridge program if my employer (if I get a job) would pay for it.

Please give your opinions. Thanks much!
From what I've seen, many of the hospitals say BSN preferred or even BSN only. If you are willing to look at places besides hospitals, then the ASN program isn't a bad option. The only thing is it may take you a while to land a job. I have known a few people who graduated with an ASN (some with previous degrees) and it took them nearly a year to find a full time job while I know a few BSN students that had jobs prior to graduation.
thanks so much for replying.....I'll see what happens...I really want the BSN. If I get in the Accelerated BSN, I may have to just suck it up and add more student loan debt
Oh and what is the BSN program you are applying to? I haven't noticed any 1 year programs. I'm applying to JHU which is 17 months long, they also have a 13 month option. Also either way it's also very pricey.University of Maryland has a 21 month BSN program but I'm guessing you live in VA? Not sure how much out of state tuition is for that program.
