BSN or BS

Hello everyone, I needed some incite on this. I am in a LPN program right now graduating next September 2016. I already have a Bachelors Degree in Business and a Masters Degree in Business. Does anyone know if I need to get a BSN or just get my RN because I already have a bachelors. I am a little confused on which route to go and do not know who to ask. I've been getting 2 different answers. I looked up the Indiana University Program which has a BS program for LPNs to get there BS in nursing, so I am not sure which one employers are requiring.

Thanks
You have to be a graduate of an RN program, whether associates or bachelor's, to be able to take the NCLEX-RN test. So the BS does not fulfill that requirement.

You should check with employers in your area and see what type of RNs they are hiring. There are parts of the country in which it's virtually impossible to get a job without a BSN, and other areas that aren't so picky. There are some areas in which the local ADN program has a really good reputation and the local BSN programs doesn't, and ADN graduates are preferred. It just depends ...

There are accelerated BSN programs that take into account that you have a bachelor's degree in another field. You should then only have to take bridge courses into the nursing part.

You can go to an ADN program to be an RN. If you decide to pursue your BSN after that, you can do it online and many of the pre-reqs that you had for your 1st degree will apply. If your business BS degree didn't have A&P, Micro, etc...you would need to take those before applying to a program, unless it is included in your program.Since you already have a bachelor's, you wouldn't be able to get many types of financial aid. An ADN program would be your cheapest route and then you can start working while completing the BSN online.
