Accelerated BSN programs with pre reqs included/attached to curriculum

i think yale does also (and of course is really expensive). probably every program like this is pretty expensive. your best bet financially is probably to do the pre-reqs at community college & get them transferred in (shouldn't be too hard).

Check out Marymount University in Arlington, VA. I graduated December 2009 with a BSN from their accelerated program, and I initially started there doing my prerequisites in the Spring (A&P 1&2 and Microbiology). They allow you to enrol in the program even if you don't have the prerequisites, so that you can take the prerequisites before starting the core nursing classes.

I graduated from Pace's second degree program eons ago.. back when they were few and far between

I'm not sure why you're set on getting the pre-req's in the program.

I would suggest getting your pre-req's a the most inexpensive local school you can... it will save you money.

good luck

It is a lot more expensive to go to a nursing school that offer pre-reqs for the 1st semester. I'd suggest you take your pre-reqs at another school and then transfer it over when you apply for nursing. I graduated from an accelerated BSN program. I went to community/city colleges to take my pre-reqs (make sure those courses are equivalent to the credits at the nursing school) and then was able to transfer over with no problem. It really saves you some money :)

I can understand wanting the pre-reqs as part of the curriculum in a way... I would want to be sure I was accepted into a program before putting a lot of time, effort and money into pre-reqs that won't do anything for me outside of a nursing program.

Not that it isn't a good idea to take them, anyway, but if you are limited on funds and are using a loan or scholarship, you often have to be accepted into a program first.

Just my two cents. Good luck with whatever you decide!!
