I relocated fr. NY to Barton College in Wilson, NC. I begin this fall. I am going to be doing the traditional program and it will take me 3 years as a second degree. This is b/c I do not have prerequisites yet. This is an easy pace and Barton is a small school, individual attention. However, u can check on the net for accelerated programs in NC, but u would have ot get the pre-req. Good luck

Hi,

I think UNC Chapel Hill has an accelerated BSN program that is 14 months.I hear that it is very competitive, and that is not very close to you. Not sure how far you wish to travel?? Have you looked into Catawba Valley Community College? Or Maybe Western Carolina (is that too far away?). Also Mitchell Community College in Statesville has a progarm. Hope this little bit of info helps!
