I am going crazy over trying to figure out my career path! I am currently a senior at Villanova University graduating in May 2009 with a degree in Management/Business Administration. My true passion is to become a nurse. I would ideally like to enter an accelerated BSN program directly following graduation. I've taken as many prerequisites as my time/course load has allowed, which does not include Chemistry. It seems to me that every program I've looked at requires completion of Chemistry prior to to admission. My dilemma is that I do not want to take a year or semester off, but rather go directly back to school. I am looking for suggestions on an accelerated program that either does not require chemistry, or would allow me to take the course along with the program. My other option would be to obtain an associates degree, which would not require many prerequisites and I could easily obtain. Would it be hard to get a job with an ASN and my current bachelors degree? Or are hospitals really seeking those with a BSN?

I mean like medical interviewing.. drawing out a patient's concerns

Do you think that healthcare providers have a moral obligation to engage in history building with their patients? Do you think its necessary?
