I have my Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice however I want to a pursue a career in nursing?

Question

Is it possable to go back to school to become an RN and not have to completely start over? If so, where do I begin and how long would it take?

Answer 1

All RN programs have prerequisite courses including biology, chemistry and anatomy and physiology ('human anatomy' doesn't usually transfer, just fyi).  Each program may have slightly different prereqs and requirements so please check with the individual program.  Some of the liberal arts courses from when you attended school for criminal justice may transfer but would need to check with the individual school as to whether the course(s) does transfer.

General career info:  http://www.bls.gov/oco and search 'registered nurses' or such.  Please only consider programs accredited within the industry.
