I have a BA degree and am looking for a decent accelerated BSN program that isn't astronomical in price (I'd be open to MSN programs as well). I'm willing to go to any location. The prerequisites I will have completed by this December are A&P I and II, General Biology, General Chemistry, Microbiology, Precalculus, and Lifespan Psychology. My prerequisite GPA is 3.9.
The problems I've run into are that a lot of programs outside of Washington state have some prerequisites that aren't offered at the schools around here, and also I'm not sure which programs are decent. I'm not looking to go to Yale, I just want to find a decent program that won't put me into astronomical debt.
I know I've made a post very similar to this in the past, but I didn't get many responses, so I'm trying again. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

You look all set to apply to an accelerated BSN - congrats on awesome results! The most affordable programs are at state schools. Here in CT ABSN at state schools is from $18-25K for in state students. Private schools are usually$45K and above.

What pre-reqs are they requiring that you can't take locally. If those classes don't have a lab portion, then most schools have an online option.
Give us an idea of what pre-req courses that you can't take locally and which states you are willing to travel to? Maybe someone will be more willing to suggest their school if it fits your criteria.
