Anyone can inform me about prerequisites for Masters programme.
I would like to do it in NJ
How long does it take?

Have you thought of an Online course through the UOP (University of Phoenix)? I'm on my 4th class. It is intense but flexible with my life style. You have to have a computer and a contingency plan if something goes haywire. There are no excuses for not meeting deadlines or handing in paper work or getting power points done. You can use the public library for one contingency plan.

The courses vary from 1 credit hour to 3 or 4. Each credit hour is approx. $420.00 (recent increase from $410.00). Registration was $85.00 last Sept. Classes are from 3 weeks to 6-8 weeks depending on the credits for each class. One week off between classes. There are breaks during regularly observed holidays.

You need a current RN license and proof that you graduated from an approved BSN program. You do not need to take the GRE or have a statistics class. It is NLN approved. The total number of credits for the Master's degree in Nursing is 39. Everything is online. No clinicals even though you may have to get approval for whom or what you choose for the practicums (there are two required). The book prices are some of the better I've come across in my years of going to school. Many books are tailored for the UOP campus.

PM me if you have further questions. :)
