    Luckily in NC they don’t care whether you have an associates degree or bachelors. There’s no requirement that you obtain your bachelor’s. In fact most of the hospitals have a partnership with the community colleges, ensuring employment upon graduation. Having a bachelors degree is for more managerial positions but as far as just getting out on the floor at the hospitals, community college level will get you to that goal. ❤️

      That’s awesome that students have the ability to be guaranteed a job once they graduate!
      I personally think that a bachelors degree should not be a requirement for bedside nursing… But that’s the trend that is happening in some areas. I think it heavily depends on the area that you live in.

      Yes, I agree. You can get into a community college with an Associate of Nursing and sit for the NCLEX. This exam is what really matters. If you pass you receive the RN Licensure to practice in your state. I love this route too. So many options.

    Funny thing is you have to spend like 2 years to get them prerequisites before getting on that 2 year program 😭 I’m starting to regret my decision cause I didn’t know now I’m spending 4 years for ADN when I should’ve went straight to university for bsn

    • @theluckienurse
      @theluckienurse  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That is the ridiculous thing! Going to a four year program, or getting an accelerated BSN is definitely better for people who want to be done quickly, which is why I went with an accelerated BSN. The community college is significantly cheaper though, even with the prerequisites… Hang in there, you’ll be done soon!

    Very helpful information for those deciding. My granddaughter is finishing up her 4th year at a VA university. She was in a nursing curriculum from day one of her freshman year. She worked at a Richmond hospital this past summer and learned she will make just over $14 more per hour starting out, than those new nurses with only an associates degree. She is very happy with her decision to obtain a BSN and possibly progress further after working a few years.

    I am currently attending a community college in Maryland , working on my ADN. My organization is sponsoring my entire tuition, with the intention of working on my BSN. While I’m in my Nurse Residency Program which is a year, I will work on my BSN. Now at my hospital, we do have ADN RNs and BSN RNs. If you want to be considered for management, you must have a BSN

    I live in CA where majority of hospitals want a BSN but if financially but if it works better to get an ADN, then do that. There’s also hospitals that will pay you to continue your education. There’s also a lot of bridge programs (more so an ABSN and for RN-BSN so if you later find you want your BSN, you can do it online too). Currently in a BSN program, but that is because I want to work in a hospital/want a PHN certificate (which requires a BSN). In the end, you will still get your license, which is enough to work at certain specialties depending on where you live.
    If you know you want to go for a more advanced nursing degree (Master’s, PhD, FNP, etc), then it would benefit to just go for your BSN.

    Chamberlain University is ridiculously high, especially when there are other colleges out there that are cheaper and are very good to attend. Chamberlain reached out to me and asked me to join their college. It was nice for them to acknowledge my strength but declined to attend. Found a cheaper reputable college. If I am paying that much money going to Chamberlain, I rather go for my MD degree. That is when I'll pay close to $100.000. To expensive, not worth it to me. Thanks for sharing this video!

      That is amazing that they reached out to you! Chamberlain is very expensive, but it is a private school and most private schools are expensive. Luckily, in my area it does not really matter where you get your nursing degree from as long as it is an accredited program.
      If I was in a different place in my life, I definitely would have chosen a more affordable school. But Chamberlain turned out to perfectly fit my needs!

      My advice is to go straight for your ADN. I have heard that LPN school is really intense because of how condensed it is. And then, depending on what area you work in, it may be difficult to find a job as an LPN. My advice is always just to become a registered nurse straight off the bat if you are able to.

    • @theluckienurse
      @theluckienurse  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! So are you going to get your associates degree in nursing? If so, once you get your associates degree you can do an online bridge program to get your BSN. These programs can be completed in as little as one year.
      If you are getting an associates degree in something else, and just planning on completing your nursing prerequisite courses at a community college, then it will take you about 2 to 3 years to get a BSN once you transfer to a four-year university. This route should take four years, if you do not hit any speed bumps. Speed bumps would be not getting accepted to nursing school right away and having to re-apply, certain credits not transferring over and you having to retake classes, etc.

    • @theluckienurse
      @theluckienurse  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There are pros and cons to both routes. Getting your associates degree and then doing a one year bridge program to get your BSN while you are working as a nurse is definitely a great option to save money!
      Whether or not you will be able to find a job at a hospital after you get your associates degree it will completely depend on what area you live in. My advice would be to do research on the hospitals in your area and look at their job postings for nurses to see if they require a bachelors degree. My area largely does, but not all areas are like that. If most of the hospitals in your area require a BSN, and you want to work in the hospital directly after graduation, my advice would be to go straight for your BSN!

      Hey so yes and no. Technically there was never a shortage of actual licensed nurses in the US, but there is a severe shortage of nurses at the bedside. A lot of nurses leave the bedside to go to administration, work in doctors offices or other areas, or they just stop working in healthcare all together.

I talked about that in this video - even though the nursing program itself is two years and ADN programs are advertised as if they are two years, it can really take 3 to 4 years to complete once you factor in pre-requisite classes. if you are doing pre-reqs one at a time like I had to, it can take even longer than that. It can be very misleading.

    Was this girl sponsored by Chamberlin University? CC do offer skills such as communication, and the others she listed, due to the credits needing to tally to 60 and not over you do take pharmacology, pathophysiology, etc but there all condensed and part of fundamentals so pass the NCLEX. I don't know this sounded so sketchy. Point blank-apply to public school, if not accepted then private school. You don't graduate making 80k. Your first year even with post pandemic lucky to make 60k(and thats in the cities).

    • @theluckienurse
      @theluckienurse  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey! Thank you for watching my video! And no, I’m not affiliated with Chamberlain in any way other than being a student.
      Community colleges do teach communication and interpersonal relationship skills, however, 4 year university programs have entire courses dedicated to leadership training, writing, communication studies, humanities, etc. because the format of these programs have two additional years worth of course work vs. community colleges which primarily focus on clinical skills once you get to nursing courses.
      I think everyone’s situation is different… if saving money is a primary concern, community college is definitely the best route to go (and then students can do an affordable online bridge program to get a BSN once they become nurses). I would even advise this before choosing a state school if you are trying to save money.
      If saving time is the primary concern (which it was for me) I would suggest looking at an accelerated nursing program. Which, unfortunately, are often available with private schools that are often the most expensive option.
      Also, the pay for new nurses varies depending on what area you live in. As I mentioned in the video, I live in the DC metropolitan area where nurse residency programs are now starting nurses upwards of $36 an hour, which equates to approximately $76,000 a year. Once you factor in night shift differentials, overtime, holiday pay, etc. it is not common for new nurses to be making about $75,000 to $80,000 a year in my area. If you do not live in a metropolitan area or in a city, the average starting pay is going to be lower because the cost of living in suburban and rural areas are lower than in the city.
      Hope this helps!

      Thanks for watching! ADN programs at community colleges are not necessarily “more selective”, because the requirements to apply/get in are not usually harder than private schools.
      Because ADN programs are usually a fraction of the cost of a nursing program at a private school, there are usually a larger pool of applicants to choose from than private schools, meaning less applicants get accepted.
      Also, private universities are also for profit. Private universities are more expensive because the rely only on tuition and donations to run, while community colleges (which are also for profit) receive money from the state.
      Both private and public university nursing programs are hard, and all students have to sit for and pass the same NCLEX after graduation.
