BSN for Spring

[Hefziba]

Hello all,

I hope you read this in good health. I am a third year science major in the East Coast and from the looks of things, I will be graduating in the Fall of next year, instead of Spring.

I am looking to get into an accelerated BSN program but most of them start in the Fall and I do not want to wait an extra six or so months before starting school.

• Which reputable schools start in the Spring?
  

Please be respectful. Thanks in advance for all your kind words and responses.

If you do some research, you can find good schools that start their ABSN programs in the spring. You can consider taking a CNA course and work as a CNA during the six months before your nursing school starts. It will provide you a fairly good perspective as to what nursing is about and its environment. You can work full time during those six months to make yourself feel more goal-oriented and fulfilled. My nursing school doesn't start until August, and I am spending the first half of this year working as a CNA. In addition, when you apply to jobs after graduating nursing school, hospitals and other facilities will lean towards applicants with previous healthcare working experience. If you manage to get a CNA job in the hospital, you might be more likely to get hired in that hospital as a nurse in the future than others whom never worked in a hospital before.
