Depends on the number of pre-reqs you need. That is preset by the school you choose.. It took me 5 semesters including summer taking 4 to 5 classes each semester..

As few as one semester and as many as 4.

It also will vary based on the school you do prerequisites at- are you able to take several of the classes concurrently or are many of the classes prerequisites for each other? (For example, can you take micro along with A&P, or do you need to complete A&P I and II before taking micro?)

Mine is taking 2 semesters (1 school year). My nursing classes will take 6 semesters. So, to obtain my BSN it will take 4 years. But it depends on the chosen schools pre-reqs and such
