How long does it take to get ADN including prerequisites, on average?

Published

Everything I've read says it takes two years to get your ADN. I'm wondering if that is the nursing program alone, or does the two years include your prerequisites?

I'm in Longview, WA. About 2.5 hrs south of you. I had to take a bunch of classes - Chemistry, statistics, A&P I & II, microbiology, basic biology, english 102, sociology, psychology 100 & 200, communications, nutrition, and a diversity course (I picked spanish). That's right off the top of my head, I don't have the paper in front of me. It seems like a lot but once you get started and are doing it - it's not that bad, especially if you like it.

oh huh, Spanish great!!!!

In Dallas/Ft worth, there are 16-18 month accelerated programs and 24 month programs. Most of them require 3-4 prerequisite classes before applying.

It's the community colleges with GREAT programs and most have dual enrollment options with UTA and TWU.

Tarrant county college is a 24 month program and requires 3 pre-reqs - AP 1, AP 2, and Micro. The application process is very straight forward - 50% science GPA and 50% HESI score are combined, and the top 180 students are accepted each Fall and Spring.

Dallas County Colleges (DCCCD) offers nursing at the El Centro, Northlake, Brookhaven, and Mountain View campuses and each campus has it's own set of pre-reqs and hoops to jump through which is absolutely maddening if you are trying to maximize your options and apply to a few different schools!

Oh - one more thing. Brookhaven is 16 months, Mountain View is 18 months, and the others are traditional 24 month programs. Hopefully that helps!
