It depends on how ADN/ASN programs are normally scheduled in your state. In my state they are typically scheduled across two years - that's for the nursing only courses. You can't stack them up faster because each course is offered in a sequential series of semesters or quarters. If you want to graduate in a year you should look at second degree Accelerated BSN's.
I dont have a 3.0 though. I made the mistake of being lazy in college not thinking I would need good grades. At the time I was not looking to go back to school. I recently decided to go on. I really want to do work overseas (central america) sometime and want something to provide. I know I would do great at nursing school especially if I put forth effort. I have a lot of the prerequisits as stated above. I did good on most of my major courses but got C's in a lot all of my general education classes which dropped my gpa a lot. I really want to be a RN, but dont want to go through 2 + more years of schooling. Plus I cant really afford it.
I have a degree in Exercise Science( i know ur struggle ) as well all i needed to take was Micro& Chem... ill be applying to a ADN program which only look at a handful of classes.... So i would research what the school looks at exactly ....
It would also benefit you to take classes over that pertain to nursing...
2 yrs go by fast Good Luck
I was looking into this program. Its a year of general education classes and a year of nursing classes. I have just about all of the Gen Ed classes though. So hopefully it would only be a year?

It looks like the program youre looking at IS a 2 year program for someone that is not an LPN already or a paramedic. Or Im reading it wrong. Either way, I hope you get to where you really want to be. 2 years isnt THAT long if its something you really want to do....

Hey all,
I recently graduated with a BS in Exercise Science. I'm looking to become an RN right now. I'm looking for some ADN or ASN schools. With these programs I already have all the first year general education classes and It would only take me a year to complete. Does this sound right and doable? I'm looking to get into the field asap. Would this be the quickest way? What do some of you suggest?
Thanks a bunch and looking forward to your responses.
