Hey Whynotme,

There ae some schools that you could do an accelrated BSN. One nurse I work with did it at University of Miami in a year. That creats a couple of problems. You are already in a program, and you will have limited clinical time, so once in the hospital it is a little uncomfortable. I would recommend working in the hospital as soon as possible. I came out of the navy with no degree, I was an electrician, and went through the navy's nuclear program. After I did 12 years in the navy, i got out June 2004. Started my prerequisites for ADN in January 2005, Graduate with my ADN, May 2007. RN in June 2007. Started my BSN May 2007. Will graduate this august 2008, and then start applying. My GPA now is 3.8, with a 4.0 for my BSN. You still need to do a year in ICU, and you can do your BSN really in 3 semesters. I did it in 4, but when i started in my tauma ICU. I was doing the hospitals critical care program, and new grad, and working nights. So I only took 2 classes that semster, and now only have 2 classes left this summer. So I would say work hard, and try to get your BSN. It might open more doors. Plus if you do not have it, from what I was seeing online, is that you will need to take extra classes during the CRNA program. I don't think you want to do that.
