hi everyone,

this is my situation, i have got my bachelor's degree of medicine (we can go to medical school after high school for 5 years to get a bachelor's degree of medicine, it is different from america) and master's degree of medical science(3 years of scientific research work). i came to bay area of california,USA, with a J2 visa and i want to become a nurse here at california.

because i have recieved medical education for 8 years, i had good command of medical knowledge. BSN is my first choice and i want to finish my BSN nursing program as soon as possible. But four years BSN program is a litter longer than i expected. but here is no accelerated BSN program at bay area and i want to live with my husband all the time, so i can't apply accelerated grogram for BSN.

finally comes my question needing your help:CAN I GET MY BSN DEGREE IN ABOUT TWO YEARS OR A LITTLE LONGER BY BEING WAIVED SOME COURSES BY THE NURSING SCHOOL OR BY SELECTING MORE COURSES IN EACH SEMESTER?

does anyone here having similar experiece? would you like to share your experience with me? your experience and suggestion will be of great value for me. my mail box is [email protected].

thank you and best wishes,

You can definitely get your RN in 2 years by doing an ADN - Associate's Degree program from a community college in your area. The RN entitiles you to take the licensing exam -- and that is the same whether you have a ADN or a BSN. Given your level of education, I would investigate an ADN program, and then look to a BSN completion program or an MSN program after you are working as a nurse. There are accredited completion programs that are done completely online, as well as those in traditional classroom programs. Maybe someone from the Bay Area can point you to an ADN program

Good Luck!
