I’m glad you made this video, because there are so many videos on why people choose LPN over RN and BSN. But I could barely find any on why someone chooses to go straight for their RN or BSN. After working as a CNA in nursing homes for so long I want to work in a different environment and I want more job opportunities so I’m go for my RN then BSN then be worn with it lol
I'm glad I could help!!! Being an LPN is amazing, but in my area (Maryland) it is very limiting for people who do not wish to be in long term care facilities or work as private duty aides. If your goal is the hospital, ultimately getting a BSN is the way to go. Good luck!!!
I just started following your videos and subscribed. Lol. I have listened to most of them all especially the ones that pertains Chamberlain College of Nursing. I have two associates degree and a bachelor degree. I am currently an LVN in Tx and going for my BSN program in May. How do you manage to work and attend the nursing school and I am equally curious to learn other ways to finance the program being that it's quite expensive as I may or may not qualify for financial aid.
That is awesome! I will say that working full time and going to school full time is challenging, but it is definitely possible if you are someone who is good with time management, and you are able to function with a log=t of stress. I am apart of the evening and weekend program with Chamberlain. So I work a traditional 9-5, and then I go to campus during the nights/weekends and do homework after work and on the weekends. In terms of financial aid, I have taken out federal loans, as do most students. I pay the difference (which amounts to a little over $1k a month) out of pocket, and I know that a lot of students take out private loans to pay the difference. Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@theluckienurse Being that you've had a Bachelor degree and Master degree, were still able to take out fed loan for another Bachelor degree? We might have a similar situation.
Yeah, I am in Maryland and I know that there are areas in my state where they are still hiring ADNs at the hospital and do not care. It’s interesting to see how the nursing shortage is going to play into this new demand, because I think it’s impossible to require only a minimum of a BSN at the bedside when there is such a staffing shortage and the shortage is only gonna get worse. I think we might see a trend where big cities are able to set these requirements, and other areas will be forced to allow ADNs at the bedside.
@@theluckienurse it’s crazy… I’m taking my HESI Tomorrow for Chamberlain. Hoping to start January.. I’m currently in an MSW program but decided to get my bsn because it would take 4 years for me to therapy on my own and pay Isn’t as competitive. In 4 years I can have an mental health practitioner and be making 6 figures. I also have a previous bachelors degree…
@@takedraharris690 Good luck! I definitely think that you’re making the right decision lol you will still be able to work with people and help people, and you will get a degree that is so much more versatile and has a higher earning potential!

@@Pom-YT10 I fortunately have not had to take out a student loan for either of my previous degrees. So this is my first student loan
@@theluckienurse Thank you for replying.
Not in Texas.. Adn are still getting hired because the shortage is bad here. Leadership true they want bsn here. Your right location is everything.
