I just graduated yesterday from my associates program, feels good bro
I've seen a ton of people do the RN to BSN option online through WGU while working full time. I hear you pay for a flat charge for a semester, but you're not limited on how many classes you can take, i.e. they don't charge per class. So it's really up to you on how fast you want to finish it.Has anyone did a online program to get their BSN? I'm thinking about getting my Associate's in Nursing first then doing a online program for my BSN while I work or would I be better off just getting my BSN in person and skipping the Associate's? The Associate's and in person BSN are both 2 years programs by the way.
Nice. What school? $18K sounds like a steal.
I'm taking the plunge and going for my Family Nurse Practitioner this fall, online program, 18k total cost.
It would be due to cost both schools have good programs from my research, but it would be around $10,000 to attend my community college and get my ASN, and it would be around $30,000 to attend the state school I'm considering. Those numbers are for total program cost btw.I've seen a ton of people do the RN to BSN option online through WGU while working full time.

If it takes 2 years to get your BSN and 2 years to get your ADN/ASN, why wouldn't you just go after your BSN and be done with it? Is your ADN/ASN program not in-person as well?
Either way, you could work right away after getting the degree. As someone said earlier, experience is pretty much everything, so it really just depends on what type of situation you're in.It would be due to cost both schools have good programs from my research, but it would be around $10,000 to attend my community college and get my ASN, and it would be around $30,000 to attend the state school I'm considering.

What's the average nurse age?
I'm 26. But with how I'm lagging it looks like I'll be a nurse by 30

Any luck with jobs so far?
Thanks man, not yet but I'm gonna keep on trying daily
This. I always do my best to take my time in order to teach others. It would be a slap in the face to all of the great nurses that took time out of their day to teach me things if I didn't pay it forward.
Another thing to think about is the nurse's assignment. Sometimes there is so much going on that a nurse doesn't have the time to stop and teach.
Normally if a student is assigned to me, I'll do my best to test their knowledge on their patient's disease process, meds, labs etc. I'd even slow down and walk them thru how to do something before going into a patient's room to actually do it. But yesterday, I was thrown to the wolves by my charge nurse with the assignment i was given. There was no way I would have been able to take student and do right by them.
