I am currently in the ACCEL BSN program at Curry College. If you have a bachelor's in another field, you can be done in just 16 months (not including prerequisites). The program starts in January and ends in May of the following year - I'll be graduating in May!! It is very strenuous and tough to get in, but I think men have great luck getting into this program. Out of 30 students, about 1/3 were men.

good luck!

I disagree that it will take YEARS to get into a nursing program in MA. It can take a very long time, but I immediately got accepted in to three programs - one being Bunker Hill Community College where supposedly everyone gets put on a waiting list. I and two other classmates were accepted into the upcoming semesters so don't believe that it's impossible.

The associates program was my backup plan. Do you have a bachelor's degree in another field?? If so, I strongly recommend you look into Curry College's ACCEL-BSN program. I'm currently in my second year and will graduate in May. You finish in 16 months (not counting prerequisites). It is a highly competitive application process, but I believe that men may have an advantage there b/c some of the Curry staff are huge advocates for males in nursing... I could be wrong, but out of 31 students, nearly 1/3 were males. VERY high percentages for nursing schools.

You can also find similar accelerated-bsn programs at regis college and northeastern university, although they may be a bit longer... I don't have those details. The other program I was accepted to was Simmons College, but it is an all-female undergrad program.

Good luck! Hope this helps - here's the link to the curry accel site - if you're serious about nursing, start your prereqs soon!
