Fastest Route to NCLEX-RN Exam? Plz HELP!

[nursn2b]

Hi Everyone,

I already have a bachelors and a masters in biology/health science and few yrs of experience as a lab tech. I am interested in pursuing a nursing career now. However, I would like to know if there is any way to get an RN license by pursuing the course work online and then doing the clinical component at a local hospital where i live?

My primary objective is to become eligible to take the NCLEX exam so that I can get an RN license. I am pretty motivated and can excel at self-directed learning so I think getting through the NCLEX exam will not be a problem.

Since I am new to the nursing field, am not sure how to become eligble for the NCLEX-RN exam. I want to pursue any course work component online and get clinical experience at a local hospital mainly because I want to keep my day job so that I can support my family and college!! I dont want to get into more student loan debt than I already have rite now!

I would truly appreciate your thoughts on any nationally accredited programs where I may be able to do the course work online and then fulfill their clinical requirement at a local hospital. Bottom line...I want to be eligible for the NCLEX-RN exam so that I can get an RN license and then work in ICU/critical care for few years...before, hopefully, try to get into a CRNA school.

Thanks a lot.
