Degree plan for Bachelors degree in nursing?
#14
In Texas where the OP lives, a BSN is 4 semesters of upper level coursework that begins after completing 4 semesters of prerequisites and core courses such as U.S. History 1 and 2. Some nursing schools only offer nursing courses, not other degrees, and none of the prerequisites. Other universities offering all types of degrees allow the student to take all 120 hours of a bachelor's degree at the same school.

As far as ADN programs are concerned, what Texas schools publish on their websites and what they actually do may not match. Some publish degree plans showing core courses interspersed with nursing courses, but the reality is that the accepted students have completed all but the nursing courses. The nursing courses are usually spread over 4 semesters. No one should take my word for this. That is why I encourage Sdh200818081143 to find prospective nursing schools and attend their information sessions. The OP needs to get the facts from the schools, not here.

You can complete all of the prerequisites by taking courses (A&P 1 and 2, microbiology, chemistry, others) at a community college, possibly using CLEP for history, sociology, and psychology. After that, take the HESI or TEAS test, go to school for 4 semesters which is $17k - $21k in tuition and fees at a state university. I asked a woman why she was applying to ADN programs. She replied that it was because she didn't get admitted to any BSN programs.

Go to allnurses.com and see what people think about ADN vs. BSN.
