Already have BS in exercise science...Looking for best option

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hey all,

I recently graduated with a BS in Exercise Science. I'm looking to become an RN right now. I'm looking for some ADN or ASN schools. With these programs I already have all the first year general education classes and It would only take me a year to complete. Does this sound right and doable? I'm looking to get into the field asap. Would this be the quickest way? What do some of you suggest?

Thanks a bunch and looking forward to your responses.

yes its a 2 year program but it should only be a year for me since I already have all of the first year requirements (General Education). Well that is what I'm hoping. I should not have to retake all them just transfer them in.

That's not the point. If the CLINCAL portion is given over two years you can't speed it up.

Specializes in DOU.

The curriculum for just the nursing portion looks like a two year program.

The term "two-year degree" for an Associate's nursing degree is a misnomer -- most of them (with a very few exceptions) take two years to complete just the nursing courses. Most people spend a year to two years completing the prereqs, then two years of nursing courses.

Have you looked at the "Nursing Overview and Application" pdf document on the Ivy Tech site? On pg. 35, it details the curriculum and shows that the traditional ASN program nursing courses are completed over 4 semesters, after completing all the prereqs.
