Let me move this to the NP forum where you will get more answers. Good luck.

What location?

I have a BS in Biology. I am graduating from an ADN program in May. I was wondering if anyone knows of a NP program that will not make me get a BSN before entering.

Where are you looking to go to school? I'm in Boston - Boston College has a great program.

University of Pittsburgh "on an individual basis." There are a lot of online ones I think. The Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. Indiana State maybe.

Here is a list of 160 RN-MSN programs (broken down by state) from the AACN website.

NYU and Columbia University if you live in or are interested in living in NY. GREs are required for Columbia but not for NYU.

I am looking into csudh msn pathways. Any feedback on how the process works once you have attending the pathways meeting?

Well, it worked pretty quickly for me at the time (Fall 2005). I started that spring. It took me until spring of 2009 to graduate going part time three semesters a year except for the summer of 2008. Took that one off! I graduated with the education emphasis and was well prepared for my current position as full time faculty at the ADN level. I was able to attend the meeting in person and it was very informative. Good look!

so once you attend the pathways meeting, do they have u apply to the actual program? I am a new grad with an ADN and BA in biology. My main concern is my lack of work experience bc i just graduated in Dec.
