Associate’s in Nursing to NP

[u/Otherwise_Ad_1340]

Any nurses here who started with an ADN and went on to become a PMHNP? What program did you use, how long did it take, and did you have to get your BSN first or did you do a bridge program?

I’ve been in ED/Psych RN for 11 years and ready for a change!

I had a bachelors degree in photography and went into Azusa Pacific’s ELM program. I probably should have continued on to my Master’s, which we were supposed to. But I was really just going to get my degree as fast as possible. It only took 18 months

University of Michigan Flint has one!

Have to get your BSN first— you can usually get work to pay for it.

Most work will pay a percentage, if you want more, then you sign a contract

Untrue!

Depends where you work….my employer paid 30%

[u/Boipussybb → u/ALittleEtomidate]

What is?

Curious does it have to be a BSN or can it be a bachelors in any subject?

[u/Kitty20996 → u/rainshowers_5_peace]

In order to be an NP it must be a BSN.
