I've decided to become a nurse but the only nursing schools in my area (I live in Mont Co Md) are thru colleges. My question is are there any programs in Va or DC that will allow you to just focus on nursing-no pre reqs? And are there any programs that offer a discount if you work for them when you graduate? I have no hospital experience at all but I love caring for people and would like to change careers. Thanks in advance.

I doubt you'll find a program with no pre-reqs... if you do, it will probably be a very expensive private school.

Here are links to approved nursing programs on the DC Board of Nursing and VA Board of Nursing web pages:
