Thank you guys for your input. I am not sure if the AAS degree is required or just a "perk" of getting the prerequisites through TESU. I did not know there were cheaper options to get the credits needed, I am looking into your suggestions today. Pierpont has really piqued my interest.
I have looked into Northhampton CC as well as all RN programs in Pennsylvania, NJ, and even Staten Island before I discovered any online/hybrid options. The reason why I chose TESU is because of my situation. I am a stay at home mom and I NEED the flexibility that they offer. Only a few courses and the clinicals require me to be in person and by that time my toddler will be in preschool. All the prerequisites can be done 100% online. A big reason why going back to school has taken me so long is because of the cost of daycare ($600 a week for two kids) and going to a traditional brick and mortar school was just out of the question and still is.
I also like the idea of going straight for the BSN as my goal is to get into case management which instead of 4-5 years experience needed with an ADN, only 1-2 is required with a BSN.
Just a question; out of all your suggestions, which one would be the most feasible to complete while my child is sleeping and would not require me to show up for any live classes? Meaning which ones are the most self directed/self paced? Again, thank you guys.
