I would absolutely want ADN/RN for free by hs graduation then do a bridge program. I work in peds rehab with a bunch of ASN’s (one of the non nursing home jobs in the region who hires ASN) who went to Capella for cheap to get their BSN in less than a year. Once they got the credential they had no problem getting jobs in top hospitals especially during the pandemic. One just graduated as an anesthetist. Even if he decides he doesn’t want to be a bedside nurse, having a BSN opens up many job opportunities in other industries like insurance, occupational health agencies, government etc.
