    I have a question. I am a recent grad with a BS in finance. I am looking to quickly transition into an ABSN program (hopefully in less than 1 year). I'm not worried about taking the pre-reqs, as I've already started to, but do some schools prefer folks who are making a career change vs a recent college graduate? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

    I applied to nursing school about 18 months after graduating with a BS in finance. My program had a real mix of recent grads and career-changers. I don't know that one is preferred over the other as long as you do well in your pre-reqs and can articulate why you want to become a nurse.

    So...for someone who is looking for a career change, having a Bach degree in Biology with pre-pharm requisites, what would be the best route to take if my end goal is either to be a DNP or a PA-C? I have three little kids so am not so sure about the accelerated nursing program if it completely ties you down. I appreciate input and apologize if this is not in alignment with the flow of the current post. Thank you!

    The link left off another accelerated BSN program which just began this past January - Florida State University in Tallahassee. I am in the first graduating class (12/11/10) and would be happy to answer any questions!

    I would love to hear about the accelerated program at FSU. I would really like to apply but am completely intimidated! I have always been a great student but I am 52 now and watching 22 year olds crying over their work at TCC that is spread out over 2 years. Your thoughts? I have all of my prereqs done with a 4.0 and got a 98 on the HESI. Any input would be appreciated!
