Re: Thinking of being a nurse but have BS Bio already, now what?
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I would encourage you to
not make any life-changing decisions in the immediate aftermath of such a devastating loss. Providing this kind of care to your own loved ones is v. different from providing it to strangers for a living. I encourage you to explore this further/deeper
after you feel like you've recovered some degree of equilibrium in your own life.
As Suesquatch noted, the few on-line basic nursing programs are for people who are already in some kind of healthcare occupation (typically, LPNs or EMTs). Also, I guess you're probably aware that most colleges & unis have "expiration dates" (typically, 5 years) on previous science courses that they will accept for transfer. If your courses are older than that (at the time you want to enter a program), you may have to retake some of the science prerequisites.
There are now lots of "accelerated BSN" and "direct-entry" MSN programs, both designed for people who already have a BA/BS in another field and now want to enter nursing. You may want to look for either of those type of programs in your area. There are also lots of threads on this site discussing those types of programs and folks' experiences with and opinions about them.
Best wishes for your journey!
