    2 years. We begin next week (July 7) and graduate May 2006. That's actually 4 semesters and one half-summer term. We have next summer off, but can choose to do some extra courses/internship type work.

    My BScN program (in Ontario, Canada ) is 2 years long - with July & August off. In order to get into this program there are many prerequisite classes that take a minimum of two years full time study. So the minimum time length to get the degree is four years.....

    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!!

    my program is a 3 year full-time bsn program including summers (summer sessions are 6 weeks with 12 hour clinicals), but since i already have a degree and was able to complete my prerequisites along with the nursing courses it will take me 2 years instead.
