Should I get my ADN and then BSN?

I have a bachelor’s degree. I am interested in getting my BSN and ultimately my MSN. However, I have a low undergrads GPA 2.5. My GPA is low not because I didn’t understand the work, I just was immature and did too much partying.

I now am a veteran and ready to take on this challenge of nursing. Should I get my ADN and then get my BSN with the RN track to BSN program? Any advice would be helpful!

    Tia,

    I think that is a great idea doing the ADN first and then later do the BSN because you will need to increase your GPA if you plan on going to a MSN program. They like applicants with at least a 3.0 GPA sometime higher depending on the school.

    So are you in the military since you said you were a veteran? If so that ALWAYS makes you look like a more desirable candidate when applying for jobs over other candidates.
