Hello all, I'm considering going into nursing school. I'm presently studying MS in Pharmacology. Since I took 4 yrs off school after my undergrad degree in pharmacy (I earned it outside USA in year 2000), the nursing schools are asking me to complete a ton of pre-requisites. I'm really interested (in fact desperate) in joining an accelerated BSN program in Fall 2007 or Winter 2008. Is there any hope for me? I already have statistics, biochemistry and medical physiology requirements taken care of, but nothing other than this. I would like to know if there are any schools for accelerated BSN programs with the least possible prerequisites needed in order to get in, and what are they? Thank you for your time and attention. Truly, tinu

Hello all, I am a foreign student studying in MS Pharmacology program in USA. I would be finishing in few months. I also have a BS in Pharmacy from my country. Looking at the lack of job opportunity and money in biomedical research, I came to consider the option of switching to nursing. I am about 30 and would like to enter into an accelerated nursing program (accelerated entry-level MSN or accelerated entry-level BSN). I was wondering if there are any entry-level nursing programs for people like me who have a non-nursing BS. I am willing to spend upto 2 years to get a degree. (though I would prefer to get it done in a year). Having said this, I would also like to know what specialty of nursing can get me a degree and job in shortest amount of time. I am wondering if anyone can advice me where to find such programs. I'm new to this field, so any advice, suggestion is very welcome and much needed. Thank you for your time and attention. Tinu
