Hi everyone! This is my first time posting and I am in need of assistance! I am a recent readmit of College. I am completing my Degree and will obtain a Bachelor of Science in Health Wellness in a year. I am interested in now becoming a Nurse. After completing my B.S. where do I go from there? I know there are accelerated programs for obtaining a Nursing degree. Any information and guidance would be beneficial to me and helpful.
Thank you for your time!

google "second degree BSN (state)" it should give you colleges in your area that offer 2nd degree BSN (ABSN) programs

Like the PP said, there are plenty of accelerated BSN programs out there to choose from. I am actually in an accelerated program now, however, the only downside is that since I already hold a bachelor's degree I don't qualify for any types of grants which is a bummer.

If you know you want to go for your RN, why finish your Health Wellness degree? It'll keep you from qualifying for financial aid, and there are a lot of universities right now that won't accept students that already have a bachelor's. I think you're better off changing majors now and working on those prereqs.
