I have an ADN. It was the smartest decision I ever made. I finished my degree and never went in debt. In CA, my ADN has required me to get creative in regards to opening doors but it has never stopped me from anything. I have returned back to school to complete my BSN then MSN . One of the best parts of obtaining the ADN 1st is I am able to easily afford my BSN and not incur additional debt.
Zaida Grace yessss girllll!!!! Part of me thinks the govt wants us to pay so much for school to keep us in debt!
I heard you can go from ADN to MSN, have you thought of that?
@@khadijahsspace7453 It was on my radar, however I'm not sure if I even want a MSN. I barely want the BSN but I am doing it because it is an industry requirement in CA.
I did the same thing as you Zaida. My workplaces paid for all of my BSN degree and about 60% of my masters degree. I had zero debt when I was completed with all degrees. Of course I obtained my Associates degree in 1985. Carle don't feel pressured to advance if you don't want to, but I do like the options available to me if I change jobs, or even those within my own workplace, because of the additional degrees.
This is about to be me! My career goal is to become a registered nurse and my local technical college offers CNA, LPN and RN(ADN.) I understand that having a BSN looks more professional and is looked of as “higher value” but if I can become a registered nurse by only playing a few thousand at my local college by getting my ADN. Compared to going to a university and being like 20K+ in debt so be it!
I got my ADN 4 years ago debt free because of govt grants. Also just finished my BSN this August, fully online and fully paid for by my hospital! #debtfree #blessed
ladycurl2xcel that “debt free part” YESSSSS 😩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What grants did you get
Ashley Mitchell a Pell Grant and a Grant specific to the state I live in. If you fill out your FAFSA they will tell you if you are eligible for grants. Both grants combined were enough to cover classes and books.
What school did you go to?
Workforce innovation is the move frfr will pay for adn or asn, I’m currently transferring into an lpn program with them and then will go into asn
If you are paying for your schooling or starting from the bottom, it seems like ADN is a win win. You’ll get paid/start working faster, you’ll pay less in student loans, and a hospital could sponsor you for your BSN.
Yep. Paid 6k to get my LPN at a tech school. Made only 6 less than RNs. My company paid for my bachelors
Just know we take the same exact NCLEX:) so having a BSN doesn’t make you a better nurse. Also, when I went back for my BSN it was literally common sense leadership classes and once I was done all I got was a piece of paper. Never had to retake the NCLEX or anything... so at the end of the day, the BSN is just common sense leadership classes. Also, We have a nursing shortage currently in the MILLIONS and it’s projected to triple by the millions in years to come! ADNs are going NOWHERE!!!!!!!! Best believe it! I honestly think they will start expanding the scope of LPNs because of the nursing crisis we are about to hit within the next 10 years. It’s not a joke.
I LOVE THIS COMMENT!
Girl they already have increased the scoop of nursing for LPNs because of the shortage. Just this year they have th pushing medications that they couldn't push. So you are absolutely right.
Nursing shortage is not in the millions, that is grossly exaggerated. ADN's might not be going anywhere, as you state, but States like NY are putting a BSN in 10 plan in place, which means all of their nurses must have a BSN within 10 years of being hired, or something like that. Now this is what you are going to be seeing in the near future as nurses are asking for more money, hospitals will be asking for more credentials.
@@Pllm30 They say that but it will never happen. There are not enough nurses for that to ever happen. The average turnover rate for bedside nursing is less than 5 years. It’s a complete joke and so is the BSN degree.
@@sherriabrooks yep they have started to hire LPNs at my hospital because we are so short staffed and we are a magnet hospital!
I was an adn nurse for 15 yrs. The bsn nurses I worked with made 25 cents more then me. I just got my bsn to eventually move up to a management position. I did the same work as my bsn coworkers. Worked in hospitals.
I love this lolll
i'm 15 going on 16 and will be graduating in 2023 can you tell me some tips about how you got into an adn program etc
@@grandiose5720 look at your local community college pre requirements for the programs (:
Not a nurse but going to nursing school.
@@grandiose5720 choose another career too many nurses already
@@grandiose5720 since ur Asian why not be a sales lady
I am a BSN nurse but was a CNA, LPN, ADN before this. No difference. I just got bored and pursued the BSN. You go girl! I always tell people to go the ADN route.
I'm in the second semester of ADN school and everything you said and say I find to be correct!
Demetria Hand yessss girllll!!!! Help me speak these facts sis!!!!!
@@CarleRae you know I got you sis , it's real!!! 🥰🥰👌
How long did it take for your prerequisites
@@nick4fit it depends on if you come from high with ap or dual enrolled classes, but if you didnt come with any roughly 2 years unless you get accepted into the nursing school without doing your prerequisites, then you would just do them while in the program.
@@demetriahand955 okay thank you !!
ADN soon to graduate next month $0debt and paid by my current hospital employer
🙌 will still enroll in online bsn completion but still getting paid by work
Speak the truth 🙌🥳
AlmaIris yessss sissss PRAISE GOD FOR THAT $0 DEBT!
They paid for you to get your ADN??? Girl I'm jelly 😩😂😂
That's great
AlmaIris how long did it take to get your adn
@@CristellaTolliver it took me 2 years , I went for lpn then bridged over to Rn program
I’m currently in school working towards my ADN and I just checked my area and ADN’s can be hired in labor and delivery ❤️
Ma’Shira yesss sissssss did the homework!!!! So proud of you boo
Please how is ADN am about to start is it difficult
YES I LIVE IN CENTRAL JERSEY TRISTATE AREA ASN BSN GET PAID THE SAME IF ANYTHING BSNs GET PAID MAYBE $1 more 🤷🏽♀️ THEY PUSH FOR BSN BUT THEY WILL STILL HIRE AN ASN AND WILL SPONSOR YOUR BSN DEGREE
Christine Theodore, RN-S yessss girl!!!! State the facts for me sis!!!! Loveee this input🥰
Really , okay I live in Somerset NJ
Great to know- Im in north Jersey!
Another thing (doesn’t apply everywhere) my ADN program is split into LPN then ADN I just finished my LPN portion and it feels good to have accomplished something
xokittixo Congratulations 🎉I'm starting a similar program in January
Well that's smart! Where is that?
April Lue Vlogs thanks you! And good luck.
Jd Douet I’m in Nebraska
xokittixo yessss that’s awesome that it split
ADN ALL THE WAY!!!! Certifications are the way to go if you want more schooling!
Honestly speaking, whenever I listen to you, I really get fired up for my upcoming ADN, starting in January. Is like adding more fuel to a fire.I just can't wait to start ..
Did you go back and your ADN?
Girl I'm not a nurse at all! But sis I love to hear u schooling us!! Thank you!
Brownskin2001 love awwww thank you babeee!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
My biggest deal is time more than anything, especially since I already did 4 years of college. That’s why I decided to go Accelerated BSN instead. I’ll get my BSN in 15 months vs the ~2 years it’ll take for ADN, plus I work as a nurse tech and my hospital is paying for me to go to school lol so it’s a win-win
same here!
McKinley Jenkins yesss girl you sound like you’re on a good path!!! 🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Carle Rae It sure feels like it! Just tryna grind hard so I can get like you 🤞🏽💪🏽
@MckKinley Jenkins exactly! Alot of people don't realize that or have that availability like I stated. Some can do Dual program (cutting time/yrs in half) ASN/BSN, LPN/BSN, BSN (different subject) to BSN Accelerated) at Thomas Jefferson Uni., Drexel, LaSalle, Roxborough, NJ & more. But you have to be careful because some BSN Programs are adding another yr (instead of 2 it's 3 w/a few🤦).
Aren't accelerated programs very expensive??
I was discouraged because I couldn’t afford bsn route and I found out my community college had a ADN program and I just got accepted for fall 2023!!!
This video made me feel so much better . I’m also in Texas yay !
Hey can you tell me which college you choosed in texas and what you scored in your teas . I m just starting so it will be helpful.
New ADN Grad here! 🎓👋💖
Heyyyy booo!!!! Congrats!!! 🥰😘
How long did it take you to take the pre -reqs
To get into the ADN ???
I’m so glad I came across your video! I’ve been torn between going the ADN route vs BSN. I am definitely doing the ADN program! I have my bachelors in something totaling different that I never even worked in the field of. Now I’m working in the healthcare field and looking forward to go to nursing school. I get upset with myself sometimes because I should done nursing when I was in college 7 yrs ago, I just ended up taking a different route but I’m glad I’m getting on the right track. Thank you for this informative video!
I got my ADN, worked as a full time RN, made good money, while going back for my BSN and paying toward my ADN debt. As an ADN nurse I was charge nurse even Assistant Director of Nursing of a facility. Having been both an ADN and BSN NOTHING has changed but the amount of debt I owe, the letters in my title, and the way employers may or may not pick me over an ADN . Facilities here in Wisconsin are attempting to require nurses to have a BSN but it is IMPOSSIBLE. There is too much of a need for RNs, jobs for every one!
currently getting my ADN, plan on finding a job that will pay for me to go back for my BSN.. and in my state my school has a great reputation (100% NCLEX pass rate) so they’ll hire us over 4-year BSN students 🤷🏽♀️
Essence Bennett girllll yessss these hospitals in my area have said the same exact thing!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
What state do you live in and what school 😭 I need this
What school did you go to ???
I live in NC and all of the new grads in my area make the same whether they have their ADN or BSN. I'm in an ADN program and I work as a tech. My job is paying $10,000 for me to get my nursing degree and I only have to work for them for 2 years post-graduation. Best decision I could have made!!!
Merci Beaucoup I work three 12 hour shifts a week, so 36 hours.
Have you graduated?
@@kanegrey7697 hey Kane, yes I have!
I think right now is the perfect time to get an ADN degree because of the nurse shortage and nurse burnout due to covid! I’m going back to college in the fall and I’m excited but nervous! I have a learning disability but I’m going to strive to get my ADN🙏🏽
Yessss
Omg I have a learning disability too but am gonna still work hard
You got this!! Praying for all of us in this comment sections lol❤
I swear you’re my TH-cam sister lol I needed this video ... starting nursing school in May
Belinda Kelley yessss boooo we sisters girl! And congrats on being accepted into the program girl!
I remember when i came back to my old job with my ADN after being gone for 2 years & was charge nurse. One of the new grads asked me how i was charge nurse & didn’t have a BSN.... i replied “ 13 years of experience.”😀....
💯😂
None of her business as well! Lol!
@@yemialemu9902 that would have been my smart mouth ass reply lmao
Finished LPN school and going for my ADN now! Hoping to move to Texas area after school and maybe go for BSN.. One step at a time! ❤️
BaileyLove yes ma’am!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🥰🥰🥰
@BaileyLove why are you doing that? You already have your LPN. Just do your BSN for 1yr. Idk but in PA if you have your LPN you can do LPN to BSN in 1yr to 15months ...
Hey Carly girl! I going for my ADN also. People keep saying go for my bachelors,but the hospital I work at pay they for nurses to get there bachelor's so that the route I'm going to take....if I feel like it, because to be honest the only difference I see between ADN and BSN is the alphabets.
Crystal Edwards lmfaoooo that last line thoughhhhh THE ALPHABET!!!! TELL EM SIS 🗣🗣🗣
👋
@@dwatson3995 hey girl🤗
@@CarleRae 😂😂! Girl that's all it is the alphabets!
The difference has to do with the desire to advance. Some have no desire to and that is fine, but those people getting BSN's aren't doing it because they think they'll make more, they are doing it so that they can be promoted and/or go directly into grad school.
These comments are so helpful y’all 🫶🏽 I was a bio major, switched to psychology, I worked in branding & now I want to transition back to medical. I am applying for ADN program next semester and starting there!
Honestly, I agree. I'm in a bachelor's program and it's not worth it. Go to community college or even small nursing institutions. You put up with more B.S. in these big schools and sit for the same boards at the end of the day. If I went to state college my education would have been completely FREE. I did 2 yrs in state college and will be completing my 5th semester in may. I feel in florida it is more neccessary to become a BSN nurse. But you can get it for cheaper at state college BUT it's much longer.
Which area in Florida? What school are you going to or have been to?
Gwendolyn Lewis thank you sis for this input!!!! I know for a fact it is really going to help others out their make a decision 🥰
@@nalaamour Private school Palm beach Atlantic University
@@CarleRae you're welcome sis. Thank you for your content ❤
I love the realness and honesty you put out there! Your videos are very encouraging, especially on those tough days at work. I have my ADN and thank God I graduated with little to no debt and my job offers tuition reimbursement. I initially thought I would be limited as far as advancement but over the years I have become a preceptor and charge nurse amongst other things.
Yesss sisss!!!! Thank you girl for your input! I appreciate you honestly being able to help me preach to the future nursing student and current nursing students
Let’s Talk About Your Hair Though
RCGIVENS18 😍🥰 video coming for it!!!! MAKE SURE TO WATCH IT 🗣😂🥰
@@CarleRae can we already know where it's from?
RCGIVENS18
Yaaassssss right!!
I graduate December 13th with my ADN. I live in Southeast Wisconsin and there really is no difference between ADN or BSN. Most hospitals here have excellent tuition reimbursements to get your BSN. Most managers I know would rather have a ADN nurse because we have more clinical experience and knowledge!
I was an ADN for a very long time.. I recently did my BSN and applying to grad school to do my NP... and will probably do my doctorate as well.... The main reason and driving force for me continuing my education is that my institution reimburses 100% up to 18 credits a year. I would be a fool to not take advantage of a FREE education. They actually pay you to get a higher degree. I could be a DNP on their dime. I think because of this most of the nurses in my hospital are BSN or higher. Also I think each one encourages the next one to go back to school. The environment is one that encourages nurses to obtain a higher degree. I work in an operating room and we only have one ADN nurse in the whole OR... But just like you and many other nurses/students have said in the comments school is expensive!!! I have children and a home as well.. I would not be obtaining crazy loans for a degree that didn’t benefit me financially either.
prettynurse2 yesss girl!!!!!! That’s my point!!! School is crazy expensive
My hospital does this too! I am in the BSN program and they will not only pay toward my BSN tution but they will set me up to advance to a DNP. I am pretty excited about it.
Where they do that at?!? LoL I need to be where you are? 😄
@@Alaina-w6y what hospital??
I feel that most people who seek the BSN route are people who plan on furthering their education, they look more towards the “advanced practice” side of things. Or maybe.. that’s just their preference.🤷🏽♀️
I totally agree! That was the only reason I got my BSN
My ADN was free from a CC & I received grants for cost of living. My hospital hired grads from West Coast that are 130k deep for a BSN. They try to look down on me. There’s no pay diff. We have the same scope of practice. I’m getting paid to get my BSN online now lol
Righttttt!!!!!! Sisterrrrrr you sound like you did it the RIGHT WAY!!!! Congrats babe
How long did it take to start completing your BSN ??
Is it the same time as getting the BSN or does it take longer to get the BSN if you get your ADN first???
@@sofiag4377 bachelor's degrees are usually 4 year degrees. Associates are 2 years. Usually you have to get an associates before you get a bachelors. Thats what I've seen here in AZ. I would research colleges around you but I am a huge fan of community colleges.
Yes they are paying $130,000 for west coast uni in California for BSN!🤦🏽♀️
I’m in a ADN nursing program and my friend in BSN asked me why I chose that, but it’s cheaper and financial aid is paying for everything so I’ll have no debt and most of these hospitals and clinics around where I live will pay for me to get my BSN. And I’ll get out and work faster than her
Thank you for this. I was debating going for bsn or asn. As an older person, the asn is the better/smarter option.
I am so GLAD you made this video ! I am currently a senior in high school . I was trying to see my career choice up close ! & NOW for sure I won’t regret my choice on this !! Thank you .💟
I have been working on nursing pre-reqs for the past year and getting ready to apply to an accelerated-BSN program. I'm just at the end and have been SO nervous about getting accepted but after this video you completely opened up a whole new idea and plan for me! I just researched and found lots of great options for an ADN and it is soo much cheaper. After a wasted BA and unfortunately MA (don't major in journalism...) you have given me so much hope and amazing advice. THANK YOU for all of your honest and full of wisdom videos. I look forward to every single one!!
How long did it take you to complete your pre-reqs?
I am so glad to see this video. Thank you for speaking truth!! So many young students I teach are convinced they will only get hired if they are a BSN but in our area, like yours,ADN and BSN are hired one in the same and make the same money!
This video was so so helpful, as a 34 yr old mom looking to go back to school. Thank you!!
I’m definitely taking this route , I have big dreams & goals and I have to get there , I don’t think it matters if you become a nurse in 2 yrs vs 4yrs as long as you do it 🥰❤️
That’s what I’m choosing. My ADN first if I can get through these prerequisites. It’s been so hard and I failed biology. I’m praying the next time around I can get this.
I will say a prayer for you babe! And remember to keep faith and don’t let anything get in your way of accomplishing that goal
Thank you so much. 🙏🏿
Ashley Cymone Cole I failed statistics lol
I'm on the list to start Nursing School for my ADN and have been patiently waiting. I dropped out of Micro Biology, so taking it again starting in Jan. We got this Ashley!!!
Girl I just had to withdraw from math so the F didnt bring down my GPA. But I have my biology final this Monday. Dont give up, we got this!!
Omg I found this the right time. I’m going to attend the 2 year ADN program once I finish my Esthetician program. To know I’m making the right choice to start off with my ADN makes me very happy. Once I graduate i am relocating to Houston & start a new journey. Thank you! ❤️
Wow I’m doing the same exact same thing vine June !
@@Ariithedoll That’s awesome! I’m moving to Texas in May & I start my ADN program in 2022.
I’ll be starting the TJC ADN program spring 2021!! You’ve made me super excited about this whole journey. I was so skeptical about going to tjc for my nursing degree due to people around me pushing to do BSN, but after watching you for so long I’m fully confident in my decision!!
as in tjc you mean tyler junior college ? if not and or if so lol , did you already take your prerequisites before applying to there adn program ?
I’m in school right now for my ADN and honestly this video came up on my timeline at the perfect time. I don’t have any regrets going forward now :)
I started watching your videos when i was obsessed with becoming an RN. I still watch your videos although im graduating with a business administration degree. I felt like business admin was easier right now with me being a single mom and all so i took a different route but. I learned that lots of schools have a MSN direct entry to nursing programs for those who have a bachelors in a different discipline so i hope to obtain my RN licence that way instead since ill already have a bachelors degree. Anywho, your nursing videos are really aspiring 🤗💞
Shakerra Nashay thank you loveeee 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Can you please explain a bit more about it how to enter nursing program through MSN since I am also graduated from business administration..
Don't know if many guys watch your videos, but when it comes to information like this I really appreciate you taking the time and giving information on nursing. I'm currently in nursing school now and ready for the experience.
Awesome video and definitely speaking the truth girl. I am currently in the process of choosing between an ADN or BSN. I have a BA already and had been working as an event planner, but decided to switch careers to nursing. For all the reasons you mentioned I'm definitely considering ADN, but getting my CNA and working for a hospital that offers reimbursement has definitely lessoned the blow of money being a factor in choosing a program. One of my co-workers just went from being a CNA on my floor to an RN on my floor with her ADN. So IT IS POSSIBLE Y'ALL! In the short term, ADN vs BSN is really not a big deal as far as job opportunities go! My dilemma is really just about time already spent in school and whether or not I may eventually want to get an MSN. If not for that, I'd be ADN all the way. Wish I knew this info before going to college the first time!
I’m in the ADN program as well and it was the best choice for me. I live in SC and I’ve asked and there isn’t a difference, only the letters behind your name. My school had someone come and speak with my class about the BSN program and she was like $19,000. I’m like hell I hadn’t even obtained my ADN and y’all already talking more money 😂. Shit I need to start working to pay off the student loans I already have. I’m about to go into my 5th semester and I’m so excited. I graduate in May 2020.
Congrats babeeee 🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 but girllll yessss I THINK GOING BACK FOR YOUR BSN IS A SCAM!!!!
Carle Rae thank you so much. You are my inspiration for sure 🥰
If you don’t mind me asking. What ADN program are you in? I live in SC and I’m looking for a good program to go in to.
Unfortunately I failed out of my ADN program by 1% so I'm looking to BSN possibly Chamberlain. Love the video thank you.
Sunflower Soul unless u want to go to a big school don't pick Chamberlain pick arizona college of nursing in Tempe,az
Chamberlain is high as hell! I went there and I don’t have no Pell left!
I was thinking about going to chamberlain too. It’s too expensive for me. I know people that are working nurses from that school. I started working at a hospital and a RN put me up on what she did, which was she did all her pre-reqs went to a cheaper private college “Arizona” took the nclex then used her credits to get her BSN.
Sunflower Soul thank you love! And first off let me thank you for being sooo brave to comment your failures! We allll love to glorify the good but never the lows in our life! I’m proud of you for that! But also let me say I’m sorry love! But just remember that if this door is closing ANOTHER WILL OPEN! Have faith baby girl! It will all work out
My mentor taught me to celebrate my efforts as well as my success. So, congratulations to you for not giving up. I would not reccomend Chamberlin they're worse than private schools. Don't give up. ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been debating the ADN vs BSN route. Living in Central MS, there seems to be no pay difference between the two. Im also interested in traveling, so I am confident that I will choose the ADN route and go back for a BSN degree online later in life!!
YES IM IN CENTRAL MS TOO! Hiii omg I never meet anyone from Mississippi online lol. I go to ole miss now , but the prerequisites are super hard for no reason, so I’m going to transfer to a community college and then get into an ADN program. Is there a specific program you were going to?
@@jamyaevans3583 Hey I'm from MS and thinking about going to Holmes. Is the math courses hard because I seriously suck at math...

Hey sus☺️ Love ya. Going for my Adn now. Ready to level up from LPN. 🙏🏾👌🏾 I feel you and your videos are informative and helpful.
It’s so nice hearing advice from someone that actually KNOWS the struggle. I’m deciding on which one to do but some people don’t get that money is an issue for some of us ❤️
I’m soo happy I found your channel because I’m currently enrolled in a Bsn program at a private university. Worst mistake of my life!! But I’m in my first year I’m transferring my spring semester to a community college to get my ADN/ASN. I’m living in Texas as well I’m hoping to work in a hospital that way they can pay for my bsn
I’m a new subscriber and 1year In the field ADN , I love how honest , realistic and offer the real Tea .
I needed this reminder. I have my ADN. I just completed one year working at a Acute Care Rehab facility and I would definitely love to try out emergency care, but have been discouraged for a while. Thank you for sharing! 💕
I’ve been an LPN for a little over a year and starting the RN in January
AT WILLZ congrats boooo 🥰
Carle Rae thanks girl!
You also dont have to take as many classes and In my region the 3rd semester you can sit for your boards as an lpn so u can work while in nursing school, because the adn program is 5 semesters.
Demetria Hand hallelujah!!!!! That’s bomb as shit! What area you in boo?
@@CarleRae Alabama
Super excited!!! I’ll graduate with my associates in psychology and I want to pursue my ADN in Nursing! I’m definitely taking this right route!
I love you for making this video. Before watching, I was so frustrated and ready to quit school, or change schools, or quit my current job or SOMETHING! Your info was VERY helpful and encouraged me to keep at it until I get done! Thank you so much for the encouragement sis!💚💜 Blessings!!
Thank you so much. This is so fulfilling and so inspiring! I’ve been battling since 2017 going to community college wondering what I really want to do while I was taking my generals. I’ve never been in the medical field. When I first thought of what I wanted to do in the medical field was to be a RN for the labor and delivery department. But now I know where to start! I’m going to do my research for different programs. This was so helpful!
Everyone is different I went to a state university and graduated with my BSN debt free at 21 due to scholarships but I agree. ADN do the same as BSN and is cheaper
Karen yessss I came from a school of a lot of smart people and I wasn’t valedictorian so I didn’t get a lot of scholarships! I only got $1500.
How much was the BSN in state school ???
What was tuition also where did you go to school???
Thank you so for creating this video. I have Bachelor's in General studies, minor in psychology. I was heading to Social Work, but decided to pickup nursing again. So much great information
Thanks Carle for this video! I’m currently working in the OR as a CST. I’m now doing my prerequisites for the the ADN program. I feel the same way about ADN vs BSN but some hospitals strive for MAGNET status. Once I get my ADN I’m done!
Glamber ya feel me?!!! Bc nursing school was hard as shit!!!!!
New subscriber!!! Omg your beautiful...loving the hair!! I just obtained my BSN after having my ADN 😑😑😑😑.....literally got a 35 cent raise. I feel like you can make a nice comfortable life with a ADN!
This is my second year of pre reqs. Instead of going directly into nursing school for my BSN I’m going to get my ADN first then do my RN-BSN. At the community college I attends it only requires for us to have college algebra and A&P 1 w/ lab as our pre reqs, PAX exam, 2.5 GPA based on pre reqs and obviously complete the application. In the ADN program you are doing your pre reqs for your BSN such as (ENG COMP 1 & 2, computer concepts, HGD, etc). Oh and you are obviously taking nursing classes also. I have already taken the majority of these pre req classes. Right now I’m working on the rest.
I feel You 🙌🏾 I have An ADN RN Degree as well. I only had 5k Loan repayments, but Girl they took most of that out of my taxes to pay it back 😂😂🤷🏾♀️ I was Charge Nurse as well in Psych. Love being a Psych Nurse 👀 Lol. But I worked EVERY where with my ADN. Having a BSN is over rated. I'm so Happy You Created this channel and I feel you, every word u speak. 💘 I love it. I am currently switching over to do my You Tube Channel Full Time and maybe work Per Diem. Currently doing Hospice, because its easier to balance my fam life/TH-cam with 8 hour shifts. I'm sending You vibes of Peace, Abundance and Victory in your Nursing and TH-cam Success 👑
Loving Myself awwww thank you babeee your sooo sweet!!! 🥰🥰🥰 thank you for your input love
Btw I would not go to nursing school bsn if I was going to pay 60,000 of debt!!! That's insane!! Not worth it! I am only going because scholar ship and grants pay for almost my whole school
Girl my ADN in Chicago wants $65k for their program. Reading these comments I don’t feel bad for backing out anymore 😭 my community college is charging $15k prereqs included for ADN. 15 vs 60. I’m over it
New to your channel, I subscribed . I am a LPN and looking to get into a LPN to ADN program but I have to pass the TEAS first. Fingers crossed !
Sis!!!! I appreciate you!!! I’ve been sooo stressed in figuring out what I wanted to do! Thank you! Because when I saw your game the system video I thought you must’ve had a bsn and then you just said about charge nurse, travel nurse with an ADN...Thank you!
I do hope you'll eventually consider the BSN at some point. Here's why: I too completed my ASN first and like you worked hard to learn and achieve success and experience. Without any student debt, I was able to find an affordable option for the BSN while working fulltime. Once I got my BSN, I explored opportunities that have made the BSN with experience worthwhile. I can assure you, if you go that route, you'll be making more than just one dollar an hour. I left the bedside to make substantially more, and it started with the BSN. I now have my masters and once again increased my pay significantly. I'm headed to my final year of my DNP.program and hope that it pays off financially as well. Just some food for thought.
hey, I hope you’re able to see this! I’m currently going for my ASN at a 4 year college, but I’ll be going back to get my BSN when I’m a registered RN. I am planning on becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I was just wondering how you’re route was from getting your ASN to BSN to DNP.
Hey Sis, I love your videos. Very informative. I live south of Dallas and I'm getting my BSN. I thought about getting an ADN, simply because I just got out of the military and I turned 31back in march. I'm thinking about children etc because I do not have any. However, I also thought about long term as well. Since I want to be a CRNA it would be best for me to continue with obtaining my BSN. I'm also thankful that I can use my educational benefits. That was another reason why I chose BSN. I also think what helped me is that I have my associates in Human Services, so I started as a sophomore. So it seem's roughly around the same about of time as ADN. Thank you for this because I surely looked up the salaries in the DFW area between ADN, and BSN.
Love Britt girlllll I used to stay in Dallas!!! Dallas is my heart!!!!! 😩🥰😍❤️❤️❤️ but yesss girl no huge pay difference out there at all
@@CarleRae How far are you here? Will you ever do a meet and greet for you Texas followers? Yes!! when you mentioned, I paused and looked it up and was like wow it really isn't.
Love your aesthetic, knowledge and confidence! Thanks for this! 👍🏾
Hey sis thanks for the content I’m glad you blessed us with content
Are you Carle Rae sister
Heyyyy booo!!!!! And girlll you know I couldn’t leave my babes hanging
TFS You just saved me soooooo much money!! ADN--> HERE I COME!!!!
I’ve been binge watching your videos because this is my last semester as a pre nursing student and I’m between LVN or ADN but I think I’m gonna go straight to my ADN
does anyone know of what the job oppurtunities are like for ADN's in Florida? Just moved here, am currently a clinical medical assistant and really want to pursue becoming a nurse but like the creator, I am unable to do my bsn right now due to finances and life situations..
I just finished my ADN program and getting ready to take this NCLEX exam. I wanted to start working as a RN faster and chose ADN. Not much of a pay difference in my area south west VA. Yes they would like you to have BSN but they will pay for you to go back to get it. Sis keep spitting out this good content...where the fam at they always pop thru... I feel cheated lol keep the videos coming
How long did the whole process take?
So if you ( need ) to work ASAP then sure this is the best route. A BSN probably would be a preferred hire above a ASN. Also if you want to accelerate to a bigger nursing career position then it’s MANDATORY. Not to mention my girl mentions 2+ dollars increase which is roughly 4,000 dollars a year more. Tell me it’s not worth the extra 10 -15 grand. This girls 8 years would have more than covered it and she would be on a quicker path to a greater career.
Hey Sis👋😘 Good info..nothing but the truth!!!
D Watson thank you my OG! Love ya babes 🥰
I have a Biology degree and went to a very expensive school thinking I was going to med school. That didn’t happen and I never worked in a place that utilized my degree and I’m in SO much debt. I’m halfway through ADN and I get so mad at myself that I didn’t do this before. Better late than never I guess 🤷🏾♀️😏
I graduated 12/2019 (ADN) and passed NCLEX 04/2020. Debt free. However, I am having trouble finding a job 😕
Apply to as many jobs as possible. Reach out to friends and family members bc a lot of times people get hired off of a “who you know bases”
@@CarleRae Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! I’ve been struggling to find a career in the medical field, I was going for my BSN but I was second guessing my choice because of the money, the time, & on my mental health. THANK YOU AGAIN!❤️❤️❤️❤️
In an ADN program now, I finish in February. The only thing is I wish I would’ve did my BSN just so I wouldn’t have to go back and my ADN is expensive.
Once you finish love LOOK AND see if your hospital that you work for has tuition reimbursement bc hospitals will pay for you to go back boo!
One thing that you cannot do with an ADN is join the military as a nurse. They require the BSN in order to qualify.
siiiiiiiiiisssss this is EXACTLY what i needed to hear !
@Carle Rae, thank you for being so positive and informative. I always wanted to get my ADN. I want to become a Labor and Delivery nurse. I look up this information and it doesn’t require much.”Everyone who aspires to become a labor and delivery nurse must undergo a thorough training process in a certified college or university. They are required to pursue at least an associate's or bachelor's degree in nursing to qualify. A nursing diploma from an accredited school is also allowed.” More over, I thought you have to get your BSN to be qualified for that. Wow!😌
I'm taking massage therapy in a diploma but, for health reasons most only work part-time. I don't have a learning disability but, I have a short attention expand. Especially in science, anatomy and physiology. I have bad fingers from cosmetology school. Deep I want to use my associates degree in the media field. Which is what I've always wanted to do. The internship I was doing close due to staff getting covid. I graduated in 2020. I applied for jobs and made interviews but, I didn't get the offers . Every employer kept saying I had an amazing resume but, students with more experience or a bachelor's degree were picked over me. Television stations in New York and Los Angeles reached out to me. I can't afford to move there. I do want to get in media at some point. Right now I'm focusing on getting a real good job, with a good salary. I'm considering getting an adn in nursing. I graduate from massage therapy school in November 2023.I do want a spa/salon. That's the goal. Even that is going to require making money. I'm worried about passing the classes for nursing school. Media is so different from nursing. I have an interest in holistic wellness. I have to take anatomy and physiology part 1,2,3. It's required in order to graduate from my current school. We just started. We're working on the bones right now. It's not too bad but, it's certainly a challenge. We also have to take kinesiology. We're only going through the part we need to know for massage therapy. We still need to know organs, tissues, nerves,etc. I'm a little worried. I know I can push myself through massage school but, I don't know if I can push myself through an ADN in nursing. I have a CNA license. It's expired. I got certified in 2016. The test was a piece of cake. I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. At the time I was living in Nebraska when I got my CNA. I tried doing a fast track phlebotomy course. I remembered my order of draws. I pass my skills but, the test to receive my certificate in phlebotomy, I failed. I had a hard time studying for that test. I feel like if I can't pass a phlebotomy test , how will I succeed in nursing school. Any advice? I want to get into cosmetic Lazer, holistic wellness. Becoming an RN would open so many doors. I don't want to set myself up for failure. My anatomy courses can transfer into a community college but, I don't want to be the type of nurse that can't do her job well. Or be an average student. I don't think that's a good thing. What do you think in your honest opinion.
I’m so glad you made this video I myself have my ADN degree and I get so many inspiring nurses ask me should they go for their BSN instead I stay in Chicago and honestly it doesn’t matter if you have an ADN or BSN it’s based off experience I’m a new grad and was interviewing with another new grad with a BSN for the ER position I have now and was hired!
Hello if you don’t mind me asking which ADN program did you do? I’m at city colleges doing nursing at Malcolm x was wondering how hard was it to find a job or did you do a residency? Online they all say you must have a BSN to apply
Divinely Guided Yes! I went to Malcolm X loved the program the school is right in the heart of the medical district so we do all of our clinicals there honestly nobody cares about if you have a BSN with the exception of Rush it won’t be hard to find a job and the pay is no different but you gotta network with ppl at your clinical sites and your professors they will vouch for you good luck you got this!!!!
I really appreciate this information that you have given. Unfortunately, I did not pass the courses to obtain BSN so I’m having to find an alternative route. This video really clarified everything for me. I’ll be taking ADN route and after that BSN and maybe after that NP!!
Congratulations sis🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 that’s good to have only that much left to pay off
Love your videos thank you so much. I’m a prospective nursing student I really appreciate these vids!
Another great video! I’m late watching bcuz I’ve been working so much lately but my bank account is healthy again lol. I wanted to add a CON that a friend of mine realized. She has her ADN and works on a cardiac step-down unit but now she wants to transfer to L&D. She’s didn’t know it required a BSN. So depending on what specialty you may want to go in after awhile may or may not require a BSN (depending on your area of course). I know certain hospitals in LA require BSN for OR nurses. In central FL where I live there is like a $5 pay difference so FL pay for nurses suck anyway! My husband is in school for Rad Tech (Associates’s degree) with specialty in CAT Scan. He’ll be making $10 more than new nurses out the gate😱. In Cali, there is no difference in pay depending on specialty so a lot of nurses have their ADN and making $80/hr (San Francisco area). L.A. area ranges from $45-$55/hr for ADN & BSN. So like you said you must do your homework and know area. But consider your future and where you wanna be later in life and in your nursing career. There many ways to obtain your goals and dreams. What works for one person will not allows work for the next so stop listening to people who don’t know or have little information about a subject. ADN/BSN is an absolute blessing anyone can capitalize on to live very comfortably....but travel nursing is the best tho🤗. (Sorry for the long reply)
Preach my nursing sista! There's only one health system in my area that requires us to get a BSN within 3 years of hire (and I ain't working for them 🤣). And the pay is exactly what you said. I was an LPN for 3 years before I bridged to the RN (ADN) last year and sis is in her 30's now and had no plans of going back....until I got into my current position that's paying half of my tuition and offers reimbursement. So yup, I just finished my first class (3 weeks) and I have 8 more to go in this RN to BSN. I lived off loans before I had my child and got my hubby, so we don't even wanna talk about how far I am in the hole.
Shannon The Loc'd Nurse shesssshhhh girllll I know what you mean having to take out the max amount of loans just to make it! But yesss girl I’m tryna get these babies right! Bc nurse Carle got y’all back
Thank you! I applied this morning ♥️♥️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I got accepted into the TJC 18 month program this coming up Spring, but I had a backup that came through before my acceptance so I'm currently in University of Arkansas online LPN to BSN program. It maybe a little bit cheaper than UT's program, but to get in with no preentrance exam and no time limit on prerequisites is a blessing. If you know any BSN preceptors in East Tx let me know. I will hopefully get to clinicals next year around this time
New to this Channel! Omg you wouldn’t believe how much this help. I was thrown into the BSN route because no one informed me there was a ADN. I’m not going to lie I was extremely upset seeing that I have killed myself at college getting good grades and the College of Nursing at my University where I need to get my BSN is just denying me entrance. Recently found and decided to assist an accelerated ADN, super happy with the decision and extremely excited.
So many gems 💎 sis! Thanks for giving us great content! I agree 💯% I’m finishing up my BSN now but it’s only required by one peds facility in my area.
I just am glad I found you 💕 Thank You 🙏🏽 for Blessing us with your Knowledge 👑
