Hello, I am a B.S. degree holder and I am living in California. I am wanting to get into a nursing program (accelerated) but I am having the hardest time. The schools in my city are all booked up and NONE of them offer the accelerated program. I am unable to obtain my prerequisites because the schools have cut 100+ classes in my area and it's like world war II to get into ANY class! Are there any schools that offer the nursing program online (I don't care if it's accelerated or not) that offers the classes ALL online and the clinicals hands on? The clinicals could be in any state. I just want to get my BSN as soon as possible without the 2 year waiting list here. Also, I have no nursing experience, so the RN to BSN programs are not going to work for me. My main concern is being able to get my prerequisites done and see if there is an online way to do it. I need a school who is willing to accept online science classes (which I'm believing to be nonexistent). How about clep tests? Could I test out of a class with those? I'm so frustrated.....I really don't like this city right now.....:uhoh3: Any suggestions?

How about going elsewhere to school?
I know one ABSN program in Maryland which has more Californians than students from anywhere else. California is the #2 state of origin at the direct entry program at my university (University of Virginia).
I thought about that!! I do have my brother that lives in Maryland. How long is the program generally? My only concern about moving to another place is finances and a place to stay. But I am willing to "rough it" if I need too......
