Top Ranked Accelerated BSN-->NP

by lnr103

I'm trying to find a place that will rank the top programs that allow a person to get a BSN and then work into an NP in the fastest amount of time yet still provide a great education and experience. I currently have a degree in psychology and neuroscience. I would like to complete an accelerated nursing program in either Boston, Philadelphia or San Francisco. I'm looking for as much advice as possible. I know I want an NP as the end result but getting there is still a bit foggy. I'm 28 years old with a degree in psych and neuroscience. I'm a really hard worker. I currently work 50+ hours a week in a hospital in research and take classes on the side. I love patients and I love academia. I need resources so I can better understand this process. I would like to further my education so I can continue to advance my career in psychiatry. Thanks!!!

End result: I want to have my own patients, be able to prescribe and work in an academic hospital with the ability to have as much patient interaction as possible but also still have the opportunity to do research and potentially teach.

The only schools I know of in the Boston area where you can get a BSN and then work while attending part-time to get an NP are Simmons and Regis.

I believe that BC is the top-ranked nursing program in the Boston area but unless they have a new offering I'm unaware of they don't offer an accelerated BSN program.

Thanks!
Does BC have an accelerated BSN program?
I haven't looked into it yet.

I heard some people are having a hard time finding nursing positions in Boston. Is this True? I'm living in Philadelphia right now and the demand is still high. I'm just trying to get a feel for the other cities I'm interested in looking at. My boyfriend may end up in Boston, Berkley or Philadelphia so I want to cover all my bases just in case.
