Next after WGU BSN with TESU credits banked
#14
Personally, I think that pursuing a second bachelor's degree is only a realistic option if you have a specific need for it. Like it opens up a higher salary, a promotion, or is required to meet the entrance requirements for the graduate program you want, etc. The important bit, to me anyway, is that it supports new or improved career options, or otherwise meets a need that your existing degree on its own does not.

In almost every case, a master's degree is a better investment of time, energy, and money. Of course, that also assumes that the reason for a master's degree fills a niche that is important to your career or personal interests.

Also, as a FYI, if you're considering a BACS, you might as well just plan to stick with WGU for the BSCS. Once you finish your RN-BSN you can start taking courses from Straighterline and Study.com to cover the balance between the required courses and those you need to meet the residency requirement. By the time you're done with them, your term at WGU should be over or close to over so you can re-apply and have the new credits evaluated before the next term start date.

Of course, that begets the question of what you plan to do with the CS degree on top of the RN-BSN? Did you want to go into medical informatics, data modeling/analysis, or build medical software or something? Hopefully the two degrees have some overlap so you can justify why you did them both.
