Accelerated BSN degree from a foreign nursing school?

smile123 · May 18, 2006

Is there such thing outside the U.S. ?

-A college/University offering BSN in Nursing in 12-18 months
(I hold a bachelor in non-nursing and only interested in fast track program)
-The program should meet all or most of Board of Nursing eligibility requirements to take the NCLEX exam for licensure in California
-Classes taught in English
-Accepts foreign students
-Is a an accredited or reputable nursing school according to the Board of Nursing in the United States

What are the names of these Nursing Schools? I would like to hear from those who have done this and are now licences RN's. Thank you!

I have never heard of such a thing. The accel'd BSN is relatively new here in the US, so I doubt there is any sort of equivalent program out of state. For any non-US nursing graduate, the CA BON has very specific guidelines as to what schools and classes they will accept toward a nursing degree. You would also need to take some English language proficiency test if your native tongue is not English. You also might be able to get a better response if you posted this in the foreign students//nurses forums. Where are you from? Good luck.

Never heard of one outside the US. Try this school/site. It's in the US though and they offer what you are looking for. Tuition fee is expensive because it's a private school but an accredited nursing school in California.
