did you find anything on it.. cuz i would hate to know that i have to do a double bachelors..when the classes are similar to the AA and i already have a BA.. So confusing when trying to explain.. LOL

The Bridge Graduate Program at FAU offers a unique perspective to study nursing at an advanced level. The curriculum is designed for RNs who have a bachelor degree(s) in a discipline other than nursing to earn a masters degree in nursing.

great!!! cuz i would not have made since to get in a BSN.. So that means wheni become a nurse with a ASN (think thats what its Called) then i would jump to the Masters and skip over the RN to BSN.

Let me know what you think and share with me what the Advisors told you.. I wonder if FIU have that.. and is at the BOCA campus or Davie

[jam911]

crazy question but why do i only see 4 classes for the master program..

[glamorousgirl07]

Im not sure I think classes may be at either campus

I think you are talking about the 4 classes you need before picking a Masters track.
