Degree plan for Bachelors degree in nursing?

In most states, you have to get your RN first, then you can work on your BSN.

I don't really have anything to add to the great advice already given. But, this comment kind of seemed weird. It seems that you're stating that one must obtain an RN before entering a BSN program. While this is a path I would recommend -- as you can find many employers that will foot the bill for an RN-to-BSN program -- it's definitely not required.
