- Hey everyone !
I know I have been making a lot of nursing videos but I could not pass up the chance to collaborate with little sister. Molly just finished her BSN program and I thought we could share both of our thoughts and experiences since I graduated from an ADN program. I hope that we touched on all (most) points. Please like, comment and subscribe below. Tell me your thoughts ! Which program do you prefer? If you already graduated, tell me your experiences !
what video would you like to see next?

My daughter is in last semester in nursing school (adn) and the pay is the same but the job she’s been offered she needs to get her bsn within 5 years. They will pay for her bsn. Out of pocket she will only pay around 2k to get her bsn
What a great deal !
That’s awesome!
@@ramom2772 I am not an RN, nor have I worked in the healthcare field, but I have friends who are RNs. ASN-to-BSN programs are usually 2 years and it can all be done entirely online. ASN-to-BSN programs, from what I have been told, are all theory classes and is not as difficult as obtain an ASN since most of the important aspect of being a nurse have been covered in the ASN degree, especially the clinical portion.
Good for her! That's one of the reasons I'm just going to get my ASN , then, have my future job help me pay for my BSN if I decide to go back. 😊
Hi , thank you for this. I’m currently in the ADN program . I honestly think the only difference is that BSN take on more of a leadership role.
Same! Just pass 3rd smester!!💥💫💫✨🌟🎊🎉
Yes you take more leadership classes/public speaking and theory !
Good luck 👍🏻
Hi, how long did you have to wait
More research as well
Genuinely appreciate the closeness of your sister relationship, God bless you two.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO YOU GUYS! I just happened upon your page and my viewers ALWAYS ask about ADN vs BSN and now I can refer them to this video
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the video yaal, really appreciate the info🙏🏽
Thanks for having me on your channel ❣️
Thanks for doing this for me ! :-)
We need more videos, and daily experiences 🤩
I LOVE this video! Thank you for making this. I am a pre-nursing counselor at a community college and try to explain the differences as best I know, but your information and beautiful faces make it much more enjoyable. Congrats to you both!
Thank you ! I’m glad you found it useful
Hi I'm from Iraq do you think i have a chance to work as nurse with ADN after( Certificate equation and everything ofc) or is it easy for the people from the country ?
you'd really be saving my life if you know anything about this and if you don't thank you any way 💖also sorry fory bad English still learning:)
what community college?
Wow thank you so much for this video! I just enrolled at Long Beach community college I am so excited and nervous!
LBCC is a very good school ;) wish you the best of luck !
what major do you chose for nursing
Hello Girls! Great helpful video that will help people making their own decisions for long time.
Yay ! Thank you Daddy ☺️
Such a good and informative video !
Thank you glad you found it helpful !
thank you 💖💖💖
Very interesting video, just to learn about nursing programs even tho that’s not my major
Kudos to all your hard work girls!

Thank you :-)
Dignity pays well and accepts ADN. Long Beach memorial is “magnet”, requires BSN and pays significantly less. Magnet only means the management is required to have BSN... Not the staff.
Wow, I kept googling your title "caption". Im happy I came to RUclips and found this video, it helps me better hearing it from real people lol thank you
I am glad you found this useful :-)
Very informative and very helpful and great video
Glad you found it helpful !
Thank you!!
Very informative 💯
I'm in an accelerated ASN/LVN program offered through a University.
We also need to do Volunteer hours.
And all of those requirements of science are built in to the School
Because we get an Associate's degree and
An LVN certificate upon graduation
It's a 17 month Course.
But it's easier to bridge into an ADN /BSN program without any trouble.
That's the route I chose to take
But overall it's a great field so however U get it done.
Just get it done ...
my school is in Los Angeles as well.
Hi guys ! What topic would you want us to make a video on next ? Please give us recommendations :)
what private nursing schools in LA should i look at? ive already applied to 6 community colleges for ADN
@@marcdumonceaux9610 theres west coast. but private's are expensive
@@marcdumonceaux9610 i would keep applying to as many schools as you can. even ones a little bit further from you. the better grades you have the better chances of being picked in the lottery. the great thing about nursing is you have so many people of different ages starting at the same time. you will get into one as long as you have good grades and keep applying
@@aomysirapa thanks, unfortunately my overall gpa is 2.6, but core science is 3.5. ive already got my BS in non nursing field. so i guess like you said apply a little bit further ;-)
how many community colleges did you apply to in total and how many times did you apply?
@@marcdumonceaux9610 i applied to many state schools. probably 5. and one UC. and then one 2 cc's
I was looking for the ADN program to become an aesthetic nurse. Thank you!
Debt free is the way to go...that is if your elligible for FAFSA and scholarships..
I agree with this 100%
Same here I’m currently working on getting my license as an esthetician then I’d like to be a nurse injector
I’m also choosing to specialize in anesthesia and become a Nurse Anesthetist Karla! I will pray that your journey to your DNP will be a breeze!
Thank you for this video. The only thing I could say will be to explain the meaning of the acronyms at the beginning, not everybody know.
Apart from that good video .
thank you !
Great video you two. Was wondering if you guys can give some advice on my situation.. I have a bachelors in exercise science. Graduated with a 2.92 gpa. Want to go the absn route but I doubt I can get in with this low gpa. And I keep hearing mixed thoughts about adn and the job outlook and how most places want a bsn>adn. So just afraid that if I am forced to go the adn route (don’t get accepted into absn) I will struggle with finding a job. I live in philly btw.
I started with an ADN. I worked in a clinic and a tiny hospital. They were fine with it as long as I passed my NCLEX. But, I live in CA so I can’t say about Philly. But.. most magnet status hospitals will only hire BSN or BSN in progress. I would suggest doing some research around your area. As far as your GPA, most ADN programs minimum is 2.5 GPA so you need to ace all those nursing pre requisite classes and do well on your TEAS exam. Even an ADN program was very competitive for me and I had to retake anatomy to have my GPA be at least a 3.4
I feel you man I’m in the same exact situation, finishing my exercise science degree in spring 21 with a sub 3.0 gpa but I plan on still applying to an accelerated BSN program. If that doesn’t work the ADN is the fall back.
I heard smaller hospitals will hire ADN nurses just not magnet hospitals.
Im in Philly as well. And couldve went the ABSN route at Jefferson, my gpa wasnt the beat but they were willing to work with me. But i opted for my cc it was quicker and way cheaper.
@@disab3597 Awesome. How's it going? I ended up doing the cc route too but left to pursue my business path.
Can you do a video on how you passed your A&p and chemistry courses? Like how to ace them :-)
we might do that !
You guys are giving some great advice in the comments!
Im taking my pre req in a community college but I’m not sure if I want to try out LPN to get experience and then go to ADN, or go directly to ADN or BSN
up to you but if you want to be an RN just go straight to a RN program don't waste time
I don't know if this is a rude question (finances) but I'm studying for an ASN at a community college and I chose it because I wanted to graduate debt-free. Again, don't answer if you don't want to!- but is there a big difference in the load of student debt between yourself and your sister?
Not a rude question at all ! Yes there is a pretty big difference. My sisters program was about 32k (including tuition waive) and mine was probably only 2k (I only had to pay for books and supplies, my cc tuition was pretty much free and also my dad works for the education dept so I got a lot of fees waived) hope this makes sense !
@@aomysirapa This makes me happier abut my choice :) Thanks for answering my question!
Hey so on your GPA part did you mean the GPA over the high school years or the GPA based of the pre courses y’all took before the nursing programs?
GPA based on pre courses in college before nursing program
hi!! so i have been researching ab getting an adn or a bsn, and i was wondering if you get into a direct entry bsn program, is the teas test still required? ty :))
Yes the TEAS is required for both ADN&BSN :-)
im worried about the A DN because in canada they dont accept A DN widely and they they restrict their access to jobs and they almost completely phased them out of the country except in quebec. will i just be restricted to work with the license in USA and what if i go to another country? will other states accept the A DN? i want to do the A DN because its more accessible for me as fo the time commitment and the cost and i have a better chance to do it now.
not sure about other states. But USA, California will accept ADN but most places now are requiring you to START WORKING on your BSN. overall BSN is a much surer way
are you guys cambodian? where is this in california? san jose? can you tell us more about the rotations and clinical placements? is it stressful in a A DN program compared to BSN? is the suffering lesser and do they help you more in cc, is it cut throat? can you make more videos on nursing but about specialities and sitting for the license?
SoCal. clinical rotations and placement is completely random. both ADN and BSN are stressful, it depends on the person. yes both are very time consuming but if you want it you power through it
hello, i'm in comm. college getting my adn. i'm planning to apply to a bsn program once i finished my adn. does applying to bsn requires you to become an rn first?
yes :)
If you took ADN and after a year, you finally had you BSN degree, would they pay you the same amount as BSNs?
adn and bsn new grads make the same amount
Hey nice video by the way
Quick question.....what happen if you want to go to a 4 years college that offer a BSN how long does the BSN take in a 4 years college... Does it includes 2 years of pre ..... Does it go like you have to take 2 years of pre and later apply to the BSN and complete the 4 years of BSN classes...
So for my sister it took her 5 years for her BSN including her pre requisite classes. Some places it takes 4 years. Depends on the school. You can shave down some pre requisite time in college by taking AP classes in high school.
@@aomysirapa ok god bless
What would you recommend for someone who already has a BS in Psychology and already has all the prereqs for nursing done? There’s an accelerated BSN program in my city but it’s $25k, there’s also a ADN program for $8k. But at this point the ADN would take me longer to finish then the accelerated BSN. What do y’all recommend?
I’m in the same boat and decided to go with the BSN because sometimes ADN programs have waiting lists and the fact that you a probability instead of just going
I am in the same sitiuation but decided to go for my ADN because it is cheaper and while on waitlist, I take the courses that I will need for BSN. ABSN is more intense, expensive and you will not be able to work at all but with ADN, at least, you have breaks and I will say, another difference is that, ADN is longer but few months apart from ABSN, to complete. This pandemic has made employers know that, ADN is also needed badly. But do your research and do what is suitable. All the best!
I would go for the ADN as well, accelerated is VERY stressful but if that is what you want go for it, Id rather come out of school with as little debt as possible,
Go for ADN because it is cheaper and you can be working as an RN whipe going back to school for your BSN, and the hospital will pay for ot 🤗
Hi i graduated college in the Philippines BS-hotel & restaurant, if i study BSN here in the US (im in CA now) and thats for 3yrs right, will my other subjects i took in the PH will be credited? To lessen the 3yrs time.
i'm not too sure about that sorry
Did you guys have work experience as a cna prior to applying to nursing programs?
I did not but my little sister did. I highly recommend it because you get to understand what it’s like to work with patients and how the hospital operates
i’m going to cc to get my adn and i was offered a chance to take part in the honors college- do you think taking honors classes really matters? i do plan on going to graduate school so would that help me get in or do they just focus completely on gpa? i don’t want to waste my time especially when the program is already pretty rigorous
They focus on GPA. If honors classes can count towards college credit I would take it !
I’m in still in High school but I want to become a nurse in the future. If I want to take the BSN program which is 4 years and the University I want to attend as that program. After high school can I just apply for that program to get in even tho its competitive. Or do I have to take some classes and take a test to get into that program? Btw this vid was so helpful thank you💗
That’s a great question you can apply right out of high school for “pre-nursing” and then take pre requisites for nursing in college to become competitive and try to get into the program. You have to take the TEAS exam
Thenurseaomy okay thank you!
Maria Ocampo you take the TEAS in college. I took it when I was done with all my nursing pre reqs and was about to apply for a nursing program
@Maria Ocampo yes you need a BSN or ADN to get an RN. graduate from a nursing school at a COMMUNITY college= ADN. graduate from a 4 yr STATE college= BSN. I would apply to any school you think you can. get into because it is very competitive.
Maria Ocampo no you take your TEAS to get into nursing school, NP :-)
My daughter is in high school in SoCal. What schools do you recommend for the ADN and the BSN programs? Thank you !
Long Beach city, el camino college, Whittier, mt. sac. pretty much any cc can offer ADN BSN you have to make sure on their site !
What if I have an MBA and a bachelor in Chinese language and looking for ADN what advantage I have
you still have to get an RN license
You said that there were 500 to 550 students that were admitted to your ADN program a year. Is this Fresno City CC?
no this is in southern california.
So I wonder if I go for my ADN and I already have a degree in Science/ Health Administration degree, can I still get jobs like supervisor over nurses?
It seems that most head nurses and chief nurses have masters degrees. A BSN gets you level with the other nurses, the health administration degree might help getting a nursing job at a private practice with your ADN.
yes what she said supervisor roles aka house sup you probably need a masters, as for charge nurse a BSN is adequate but depends the facility
Can I ask - what CC did you attend for your ADN program? I just recently finished my B.S. from a 4 year in CA but realized I want to become a nurse.
Was debating on which CC to attend in SoCal.
Long Beach city college !
Hi, I am planning to take ADN program at Pasadena City College. I am also thinking to work first before I get BSN. Can I know which cal state university you went to for BSN? and how is it like?
I went to California state university long beach. It was very competitive and tough. However teachers were very supportive
A BSN on the East Coast can cost 60 and up. I work with RNs with a BSN that owe 100G.
That’s called servitude, they own you.
That’s because they go to private schools that cost an arm and a leg. Lol the schools down here in FL are way cheaper than that. In an ADN program and it only costs like 6k. The hospital I’m applying to when I graduate pays for you to complete your bsn
Yeah I was looking at accelerated BSN programs out of state if I couldn't get into a California accelerated program which I did. The tuition for the east coast schools and midwest schools were way to high for the lower salaries. A school I applied to was 46k tuition in Missouri and the salary is like 50k a year there.
Go to a regular Public College or University! It's affordable. Private is always very expensive. That's like volunteering for servitude.
Just out of curiosity, did you have to interview to get into the ADN program?
Nope
How long did it take you to finish your prerequisites ?
for me personally 4 years. I had to retake anatomy. that is with AP classes already done in high school.
How long is the Adn program excluding pre requisite
2 years for my program
it can take 4 years or longer depending on how long it takes to do prerequisites it can even take some people 3 years to do prerequisites , so it can take 5 years. i know someone who even took 6 years to get adn at a community college.
Hi I like your video.😊❤️ I just want to ask if I transfer to community college to take Adn but I have some units I finished with my Biology program. Do that means that I'll take again some units I have finished on my BsBiology program if I take Adn?
If you already took classes in bio that were the same in nursing you should not have to retake it. But it depends on your school
What's does adn and bsn stand for
ADN= associates degree of nursing
BSN= Bachelor of science in nursing
where can I get an associate degree in nursing online?
that i do not know sorry
If we have work experience of more than 5yrs is there any advantages for us while studying ADN or BSN?
work experience in what exactly ?
As a registered nurse working in Nepal
How much did your ADN-BSN program cost?
Adn program about $7000 total , BSN about $2000 total
Hello
Where did you get your BSN?
so cal !
Is bsn 3 years because some college do 4 years does that 1 year disadvantage you?
Nope all about experience
@@aomysirapa so 3 and 4 years are basically the same thing in bsn but you just need experience
How long are adn programs including the pre-requisites?
For me it took 3 years to complete all my pre requisites and 2 years to complete the ADN program. So a total of 5 years
Umm how long for the bsn?
A BSN is 4 years I believe
I just looked the website of my local community college and they have Pre-Nursing (prerequisites) and Nursing ADN (the actual program) the prerequisites should take about 1 year and a half and the actual nursing program should take about 2 years so all together I would say 3 years to 3.5 years. I know everyone is different but there’s no way it should take you 5 years for a ADN. That’s longer then a BSN
How do I get a bsn? It is too competitive
Two years for adn including general ed?
no ADN is 2 years. general ED took me 4 years personally
In a semester how many classes did you take for adn program ?
Honestly I do not remember the exact number but it was around 4-5 classes per semester
Can you become a crna with adn
No
You become a R. N. With the ADN
What is ADN?
associate degree of nursing
@@aomysirapa ilang yrs po Yun?
@3:15 false you don't need to already have a degree for an accelerated BSN program
Hmm I guess some schools are more flexible than others ! Good to know
In California you do, but in some states accelerated BSN programs just need more prereqs.
@@theshinythings123 NO you don’t.
I live in the CA and currently enrolled at WCU ontario (accelerated rn program). And u don’t need a degree. Kiddos straight out of highschool can start their program at WCU Ont. BUT they have to complete prerequisite and capstones beefier CORE nursing classes.
*before their
