I was just curious to find out how long your nursing programs are. I'm starting my real nursing courses this fall (yay!) :) for my BSN. It lasts for 5 semesters (but only includes the fall & spring semesters), which means I will graduate in Dec. 2006. How about you?

Programs are designed around standard established by the state and other governing bodies (AACN, NLN, etc.). Our local university requires 123 hours to complete the BSN program. The "generic" students, who are not working and can go to day classes, can finish the program in 8 semesters plus part of one summer. However, the majority of students are working, so they enroll in 2-3 classes a semester, which extends their time.
6 semesters, once you have been accepted into the program (BSN). No summers though! That is both good and bad.....we could be done sooner, but I have had a MUCH needed break this summer. Starting August 30th, it's back to sleepless nights and constant stress. But it wouldn't be worth it if I didn't love it!! :)
