As a nurse recruiter, please make sure your program is CCNE or ACEN accredited because if it isn’t one of those, you cannot get hired everywhere. Also be aware that magnet hospitals will give preference for BSN residents over ADN residents.
From what I've heard BSN's also make alot more and are in much higher demand. I talked to a few people who got really depressed when they got a ADN and found out how little they made since BSN's where in much higher demand but (for that area at that time at least) the market was kind of flooded with ADN's.
Having a BSN has nothing to do with a magnet hospital. In my area BSN graduates made a dollar more per hour. the hospitals in my area changed that policy and now pay is based on job history experience. Most hospitals will pay for you to go back to get your BSN. I graduated from a ADN program and started in a critical care nurse residency program. The hospital is now paying for me to get my BSN. It's going to take me a year to complete
I applied to my local BSN program this month 😭. Such a major milestone just to apply. I’m 32, a wife, a mother and I have worked as a Dialysis Tech and CNA. It’s been such a looong road lol.
My daughter just got her BSN in 18 months on a accelerated program here in NJ. Studied her ass off and was laser focused. So so proud of her. Taking Nclex in February.
As a senior in High school, I personally plan on going to Valencia (community college) and getting into their nursing program and once I have my ADN I will start on my BSN while working. Thank you for this video!
Honestly, while most hospitals, especially magnet hospitals, may PREFER BSN RN, there aren't much difference between what an ADN RN & a BSN RN in terms of what you CAN do in practice. Obviously, as you have more experience and is looking to get into say management or higher up, they may require you to have the BSN or higher level of education. So, in terms of getting your foot in the door, I agree with Nuse Blake. Know the difference between RN vs. LPN/LVN and go to an accredited school. Anyway, good luck!
Great advice, Nurse Blake! As my daddy used to say, "there's an ass for every saddle". I love that there are so many options to meet the needs of different situations. There is ALWAYS a way to get to your dream!
Mama of 4 and a caregiver I Have been going back and forth with like 3 schools lol! Finally made my decision and picked the perfect school for my BSN I’m so excited!!! ❤️❤️
Study tip. Get a notepad app that has the option to read the text back to you. I love being able to listen to the notes I make while I'm cooking, cleaning my house, or while I'm restocking coolers at work (I work retail and my bosses don't mind). Even if you're not paying attention, your brain will still remember what you're listening to.
Thank you for this video I'm 56 and doing my LPN now and going to bridge over to RN, then BSN after. Didn't even know where to begin, had no clue, and you just helped me. I enjoy watching your videos!! They make my day during this crazy ride of nursing school. THANK YOU 🙏
All the best you need to study hard and be laser focused. My daughter 25 just got her BSN in 18 months in a accelerated program. Studied her ass off. If you dont, you know what happens.
I start my BSN program in a couple months in the spring quarter at my dream campus! I’m so excited and ready to start! Thank you for all of your videos, they get me even more excited to start! 😁💙
I did a similar path to you Blake. I just graduated from a community college last year and had dual enrollment with a university and am finishing up my BSN courses. I will be done in June! I plan on going for an MSN in forensics possibly.
Great video and perfect timing I'm trying to decide between what school to go to this fall and am in between a BSN program at the University 15 minutes away or an RN/ADN program at the community college 5 minutes away. My goal is to get my masters and I'm leaning towards the University/BSN program since I've already completed about a year of their prerequisites and it'll take me about 3 years to graduate and I'm getting almost a full ride! This video made it clearer as to which option is better for me! Thank you so much I truly enjoy your videos!!💕💕
i just started high school and i want to become a nurse in the future so i signed up for advanced bio and chemistry! i know these courses can be challenging but hopefully they will be worth it...thank you so much for this video! you're such a great source of inspiration❤️
Go Knights!!! My son and I went to the Info Session at UCF. Beautiful campus! Ultimately, he chose USF in Tampa....GO BULLS!!! He's a Senior and this is his last semester!!! In Florida, we discovered, it is VERY hard to transfer to a Florida university BSN if the student is not enrolled in a concurrent or 2+2 program...despite claims otherwise. Our local state college, formerly a community college, offers ADN and BSN programs. So happy you are back in the Sunshine State!! From me: GO NOLES!!!!
Hi Nurse Blake! love all your videos! i’m currently in my second semester of pre nursing, your videos get me so excited to be working in the field one day! :)
Great advice, Your smile lights up this channel by the way. I wish that there were more happy & pleasant nurses like you. Because I am sick of Grumpy, Gray, Grinch nurses taking care of patients 😁
The only thing i can think of to add to this video is look at what percentage of people that graduate from that program get a job as a nurse within a year of graduating. Look at the school’s reputation in the area. There are definitely some schools that have better reputations than others. If you know anyone that went to the schools ask around about what it’s like to attend that school.
I just watching your nursing student at clinical video and I recognized your clinical uniform and it’s the same as mine! You went to the same schools I go to!!! So cool.
@@onyinyesarah1226 Listen Sister- YOU CAN DO THIS. IT IS NOT HARD. IT JUST DEMANDS DEDICATION. From your name; I can tell that you are African; I am also African. I mentor and tutor students and I can mentor you. You can do this!
Thanks for the tips! I’m actually a elementary teacher 👩🏽🏫. I’ll be taking a couple prerequisites this summer and starting an accelerated nursing program the following semester! I’m so nervous 😬 lol 🙈🙉 👩🏽⚕️💉
I didn't really know too much when I was first choosing a nursing school. All I knew was that I wasn't going to a university because it was super expensive haha
Check to see if your state requires you to get a bachelors within a certain timeframe if going for an associates!!! New York state requires you get it within 10 years of graduating! And don’t forget to ask what the nclex pass rate is for your school! My schools past rate has been 98-100 for the last four years and the school I was originally going to go to was 72%!!
I maybe old at the age of 28 I honestly thought i wanted to be a cook for the rest of my life and I had a change of heart i now am committed to becoming a Nurse but im going thru Nurse Aide first, invest, and get accepted my main goal is to achieve CRNA and I may have to taken a little longer to be in a ''college'' level of today's gens education or probably not, I wish everyone luck and accomplishments
Hey Mr Blake! I am a radiology major. I know this is a nursing channel but I just wanted to ask you for tips on how to persist in any medical program and being able to work well with your classmates while in clinical and the classroom. I just applied a few days ago, and Im soo nervous for my results in a few months.
The US is kind of stupid like that. I had a friend who went to a small business school in the 90s (i dont remember exactly what subject she took but it had to do with office administration) and she found out after she'd taken a year long program that the little degree she got was something no one accepted them, so she just pissed away thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on a useless slip of paper. It turned out the degree she needed was a completely different associates degree, which was 2 years instead of 1 year and they basically told her to either start from scratch and go to school for 2 more years or frame her existing degree since it was basically a really expensive decoration
I love all your videos nurse blake :) your videos r so inspiring and i cant wait to start nursing school im leaning towards the traditional bsn program 💕
What is worth it to you? Great advice! I'm 54 and will graduate with my ADN in August. But is it worth it, time and money, for me to go on to my BSN or MSN when I really only have 10 years of work in front of me?
Hey Nancy! This is only a question you can answer yourself and depends on your goals and passion. ADN vs BSN will also depend on the area where you live/work. Some hospitals in the major markets now require BSNs. First, graduate and celebrate your ADN! :-) Get some experience under your belt and then decide. Nursing offers so many cool opportunities in different settings. You'll be able to carve out your own unique path.
Hey Nancy, I want to second what Blake said there. Whether it will be worth it to get a BSN, MSN or even a PhD/DPN is up to you and your goals. With that said, celebrate your ADN accomplishment, get your foot in the door and get some experience and if you work for a hospital, a lot of times they will pay for you to go back to school if you so choose to. Good luck!
I wish I could "pick" my school but all of the programs in my (California) area are impacted and very competitive. Gotta go wherever I get in. Will it be 10k or 50k? 🤷♀️ Saving what I can now.
I keep getting rejected to nursing programs. I have very low hope. I applied one more time and decide to try again in 5 years. Yes, retaking my pre-req and TEAS.
@@NurseBlake ahhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAASSSSSSS!!!!!!!! 🙌🏼 I was going to say “you need to do some tie-dye merch!” as soon as I saw it! I would preorder that bad boy ❤️ Can’t wait!
Blake how were you able to do bsn courses while doing an adn in the community college? Aren't you suppose to have your RN liscense first before they allow you to work towards your bsn?
Good question! There are so many different programs out there now that offer unique paths to get your BSN. Most of the larger schools now just have programs that are BSN only. My program was a partnership between the community college for my ADN and the university for my BSN, they call it a concurrent program. They are pretty popular with the community/state colleges that are nearby large universities.
@@NurseBlake thanks. I'll try to look into to I'm in miami florida. I finished all my prerequisites and now I have to wait till August to start 😔.. maybe I might be able to do something in the mean time.
i’m in an ADN program in my school, I will take the BSN once I start working... does it still matter what school I go to even if I already have the job?
Hey nurse Blake! I’m a senior in high school who’s looking to get my BSN. I’m wondering, do you think it’s a good idea to get be a CNA before starting nursing school for the experience??
I would recommend going straight to LPN School. That's the route I took- you will get nursing experience and it will pay off in RN School- LPN- ADN- BSN and I am now in Nurse Practitioner School. The CNA route may also give me you patient care experience. Both ways could work.
YES! Working in healthcare before nursing school will give you so much experience!!! :-) Before nursing school, I was a patient transporter, surgical assistant, and PCT.
As an RN with 40 years experience, including precepting students and new grads I say PLEASE get hospital or nursing home experience first. Otherwise you will be like one of my new grads who didn’t know how to even properly get a patient up out of bed. Pretty basic, but if you don’t know those basics you will be a bit behind.
@@knittylane3016 I agree! The program I'll enter is in Colorado; the campus is Anschutz Medical Campus and it's great! I'll definitely be getting experience, good advice 🖤
@@anjalikurian7906 there's no point. ADN is just a stepping stone to BSN it doesn't look better just lets people know you received your ADN you should just get your BSN if you can. A dual degree would be healthcare administration/RN. I don't know if that helps. I've been a Lpn(it's Lvn here in Cali and Tx) for 8 yrs there's no point to go back for my ADN BSN is higher. Some ppl do it that way but more so because of life. However you get there is fine but if you go straight to BSN it's better. Good luck to you!
@@raiwil8792 thank you so much!! i’ve been having a hard time choosing between two colleges, the dual degree allows you to become a RN your third year so would that be better or no?
Jesus died for you was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. please repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior.
As a nurse recruiter, please make sure your program is CCNE or ACEN accredited because if it isn’t one of those, you cannot get hired everywhere. Also be aware that magnet hospitals will give preference for BSN residents over ADN residents.
Good point Andrea.
Yes!! This is vitally important. Degree mills are out there for sure!!

@@anjalikurian7906 there's no point. ADN is just a stepping stone to BSN it doesn't look better just lets people know you received your ADN you should just get your BSN if you can. A dual degree would be healthcare administration/RN. I don't know if that helps. I've been a Lpn(it's Lvn here in Cali and Tx) for 8 yrs there's no point to go back for my ADN BSN is higher. Some ppl do it that way but more so because of life. However you get there is fine but if you go straight to BSN it's better. Good luck to you!
And yes Bs in nursing is same as BSN. Bachelors of Science in Nursing(BSN)
@@raiwil8792 thank you so much!! i’ve been having a hard time choosing between two colleges, the dual degree allows you to become a RN your third year so would that be better or no?
Jesus died for you was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. please repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior.
Wtf is this ?
