I recently graduated from Kansas State University with a B.S. in Agriculture majoring in Animal Science/Pre-Vet. I am currently taking a few Nursing Pre-reqs due to me having graduate level courses in Equine Nutrition, Physiology and Anatomy...just not anything dealing with the Human side. :) I was on the pre-vet route when I decided that I want to switch gears and go into the human medical field versus veterinary medicine. With all of my research work I did for KSU and internships and externships I do have quite an impressive list of medical experience but only on the veterinary side. My question is, what would be your advice to get prepared for the masters application process? I have spoke with a few Directors of Nursing from Universities that I am interested in already...and I am taking some more classes to give me the Human side of science (even though it is not too far off of what I have already studied) What would you do in my shoes?????????? Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!!!!!

There are over 60 direct entry Masters of nursing programs... go to AACN website and search there. The pre-reqs vary and will ultimately be based on how geographically and financially flexible you are.
