BS in Math to BSN/MSN - SoCal

Hello,

I graduated with a BS in Mathematics (UCI) way back in 2003. Then I fell into the mundane world of office work, which had nothing to do with my degree. I've been trying to get out of my current unfulfilling line of work and no career path excited me until I thought about nursing/medical field. I had always dismissed this because I've never been much of a risk taker and thought having people's lives in my hands was too much responsibility. But the more I thought about this field the more excited I became...

Well enough about the background: I've been looking into how to start this transition. I'm sure I can't use any of my Chem or Psych etc credits from UCI since it was so long ago, and I also don't feel comfortable competing with others who have all that info fresh in their minds.

So I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to start. Which schools are good for starting to take the pre-requisites, which programs I should look into...

I'm not a religious person... should I just not consider any schools with a St in the title... or Concorida...? :D

    CSULB's entry level master's program might be an option for you. Here is the brochure...good luck!

    There are a number of programs for those who have a bachelors but no nursing experiece. The Calif board of nursing can give your the names of the programs who offer the masters program with non nnursing background.

    BTW you can go the regular route and get your ADN or BSN, but why reinvent the wheel. In the masters program non nursing background program you study to become a nurse and once you obtain your nursing degree you go forward with the masters program--no need to reapply to the univesity.
