Accelerated Nursing

Updated:   Published

Does anyone else find it frustrating that accelerated nursing programs seem to all have different requirements? Some want labs in-person, some want 300-level Stats courses, some want organic chem or human growth psych, some want a TEAS or other exam, and some just want only a few pre-req admission requirements. Has anyone found a system that is efficient at looking at accelerated programs? I have the ability to relocate to any state in the U.S. to complete an accelerated program, but I am super frustrated at their lack of uniformity.

Basic requirements here at ISU though very competitive grades-wise. You have to have a Bachelor’s already with these courses required for admission.

I agree that searching for accredited accelerated nursing programs can be daunting. I remember when I decided to take my prereqs I first decided which schools I wanted to apply to. I used the CCNE site and focused on my homestate of CA. I made a spreadsheet of all my interested programs and looked up their prereqs from each school's website. I checked which schools had common prereq courses that I could bundle together. The spreadsheet you make will definitely help you, either microsoft excel or google spreadsheets. I hope this helps. Good luck.
