Please somebody help me

Published

I recently moved to Southern MD and want to apply to nursing school, I have over 100 college credits from colleges in NY but not a Bachelors Degree. I was thinking Bowie or Stevenson, since SU is extremely pricey I'm leaning more towards Bowie. Does anybody know what they ask to gain entry to the program regarding courses? Thank you.

They have a really comprehensive website for their nursing program here: Nursing Â- Bowie State University

If you need more information beyond that, I'd recommend calling an advisor.

Bowie is probably the closest school in terms of commuting. But Maryland has many other (awesome) BSN programs: Maryland, Salisbury, Towson, Notre Dame, Hopkins, Coppin and Morgan.

You may be able to commute to DC/Northern VA schools too like Catholic, Trinity Washington, George Mason & Marymount.

I would check out Towson's program if I were you. It seems to be fairly priced and highly competitive. Also, not sure if this appeals to you, but you could always check out an ADN program at a community college close to you. They tend to be the least expensive.

My friend had a lot of problems with Bowie's nursing program. I went to Stevenson, graduated in 14 months from my ASN to BSN. It is the most expensive undergrad nursing program in the state but fast application process (mine was 1 week). Classes are about 4-6 weeks each and you can do all of it online except for nursing assessment where you have to test in person once. The campus is really nice and the advisors have a clue what the hell they are talking about, mine was a PhD and nice! Credits were $500ish each so my program was about $17k in total. Maryland gives you 30 credits "free" for associates to bachelors majors.
