Are there any 12 month nursing programs that only look at pre-requisite grades and whose deadlines are over for the Spring 2014 semester? Please let me know.

Someone may come and correct me if Im wrong, but I personally do not think there are any 12 month nursing courses. I believe to be accredited, the school has to have so much clinical time and instructional hours to qualify, and 12 months isn't long enough for that. There are fast track programs that I have heard can be as little as 15/16 months long, but I haven't heard of shorter. As far as only counting GPA, I have no idea, and it would depend on the program. I mostly hear of at least using GPA and entrance exam with no other things like interview or references, but not sure on a GPA only requirement.

Maybe an LPN program (my school has a program that goes over the course of 12 months, including a summer semester), but I don't think 12 months is enough time to get in all the clinical training that comes with an Associates degree, and most definitely not a Bachelors.
