⚠️ASN first then BSN? NURSE ADVICE PLEASE⚠️

Question

So I’m currently a freshmen in college and I’m in a community college if I get the proper credits I can join the nursing program and graduate with my ASN. I think it’s a good idea because I will be able to start working and save money to pursue my bachelors degree. I will also have hands on experience. It’s just I also have medical friends that advice me to get my AA general and then my Bachelors degree in nursing. I really don’t see the difference I feel like it’s beneficial to get my ASN/ADN and start working as a nurse and at the same time pursue my bachelors while earning money. Is an ASN not considered as an associates degree? can I not pursue a bachelors degree with an ASN?

Answer

I don’t know what the difference is I’ve never heard of ASN? I just know ADN, that’s what I’m doing I’m just waiting to get into the program, I’ve taken all my classes that i need. I just need to pass the Teas Test honestly. I’m working towards my BSN also and this semester I’m taking like 3 classes for my BSN to help me get into the program.

Answer

im working on my ADN right then im going get my BSN. Im doing this so i can start working and get the experience needed in some places they wont allow to you work in certain departments with a ADN. and where i live there not really a pay different between the two.
