2nd degree for nursing?

Question

I already have a bachelor's in health but want to get my nursing degree. Since I already have the prereqs such as bio, anatomy, etc would it be quicker if i do the accelerated BSN or the regular one?the accelerated takes around 2yrs but since i have the prereqs will it work out the same if i applied for a regular program? the reason i am asking is b/c i may move to another state and i havent seen any accelerated programs in that state. I really want to do nursing so i wanted to figure out if it will take the same amount of time. I dont want to stay here just b/c they have an accelerated program and end up being in school just as long.

Answer 1

The accelerated and regular program is pretty much the same thing in your case since you have the pre-req's already and it's hard to transfer into other accelerated programs just in case you change schools, ect. So I say go for the regular program, it's still going to take two years which will be all nursing classes since you took the required.
