prerequisites and second degree BSN program

I am interested in doing an accelerated second degree BSN program, but was curious if there is a time frame from when you received your first bachelors to when you apply for the BSN program? Or does it vary from school to school? Here is my situation. I began college in 2004 (so that would be the year when most of my general study courses were completed), I changed majors and ended up going 5 years, completing the degree in 2009. My degree is in Nutrition and this year I became a registered dietitian. So I wasn't sure if my prerequisites would transfer if they are from 8 years ago or would some of them from the later years transfer? Thanks!

    You will have to ask the school to which you are applying. Some schools have a 5 year limit, some 10 year limit and some no limit.

    I had pre-reqs from 15+ years ago that transferred into all of the programs I looked at. But leenak is right, each program will do it their own way, so talk to them.

    Which brings me to my biggest piece of advice for you at this place in your decision making. Sit down with an advisor with each program you're interested in and have them draw up on paper exactly what is required of you. They will do this for you either in person or via email - it's their job - you'll just need to send them your transcript. Reason being, all programs have subtly different requirements ... so there's not one-set-of-prereqs-fits-all-programs. I promise you'll miss something if you try to do this piece through your own internet research. At some point you'll need to focus on one or two programs so you don't take a bunch of extra classes.

    Best of luck! It will fly by, I promise!
