Accelerated BSN programs that do NOT require letters of reference?

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any accelerated second degree BSN programs that don't require letters of reference?

I'm aware that most do, but if there are any that don't I'd like to look at them and possibly get a head start on applying as I'm going to be waiting a few weeks for my professors to get their letters done.

I know that UNC Chapel Hill doesn't require or accept letters, but I think they might be a little too competitive as they're one of the topped ranked schools :)

Thanks for your help!

George Mason's nursing program does not require reference letters. Check their web site out.

I believe Yale doesn't need one either, but the thing is that its a combined BSN/MSN program.

The University of Colorado - Denver (UCHSC) doesn't require a letter. However, you will need a high GPA and a good essay.

They only have an EL-MSN program, not an ABSN anymore. :(

Yes, UNC is very competitive but I would still apply if you meet the requirements. You never know exactly what they're looking for, especially if you have something unique to offer from life experience, work experience, etc.

I think Florida schools like Nova and Barry Univ do not require them.

Metro State College (in Denver, CO) does no longer require recommendation letters either. They offer an accelerated second Bachelor program.
