Hello! I hope you're all in good health. I'm an international student hopeful, and would like to make some inquiries about obtaining a BSN from UCLA. I'm from Cairo, Egypt. I have completed high school as well as a four-year university degree (BA) in English Language and Literature back in 2004, and obviously looking for a career change. I've always been interested in the medical profession.
I emailed UCLA, and they referred me to the MECN program. But when I inquired (again) about earning a BSN, their answer was simply:
"You cannot apply to the BSN Program if you already have a bachelor degree."
How come? Is that a law in California or all over the US? And if so, will a CRNA track be an option if I opt for the MECN?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
PS Sorry if this isn't the right place for this thread. It's the nearest I found.
