Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

I have a bachelor's and a master's, which is why I was considering an accelerated BSN. However, I was thinking if I could also apply to a regular BSN. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

You can apply for a BSN program. Many of the courses from your previous BS degree will transfer.

Yes you can. You apply as a post-bacc/second degree student. It is likely many of your general education requirments will transfer and you will only have to complete nursing specific coursework. One of my friends completed her BSN this way.

Yes there are accelerated BSN programs for student with bachelor's degree. The program is very intensive and you can finish in a year. However, you still must meet the specific nursing program's requirements (so you should be looking)

I had a prior Bacc degree and went through a regular 4 semester BSN program. After they did the transcript, I had to take a total of 5 pre-reqs that my prior degree didn't include.
