Yes. I will say I've seen people do the core courses (math, science, english, foreign language) for the first two years of a 4yr BSN program and then enter clinicals their Jr year and find out they can't do it. Which is why I've always felt that the ADN program is a good idea for the first year and then a transfer to a BSN program if someone finds they want the upward mobility of a 4 year degree. Nothing worse than someone spending all that time and money in a 4 year program to find out they can't cope with the rigors of nursing in their 3rd year.I think I get it. It's more of an intensive program focusing in one area while a BSN requires unrelated "core" courses. So the amount of clinical training would be the same. Imo
