I live in the Silicon Valley in California. After over 10 years doing marketing and design in the computer industry, I decided to switch career to nursing. I believe applying to nursing school is the logical first step to this career switch. I have researched several community colleges and state U's in the area. The San Jose State U stated that they would not accept anyone with a Bachelor degree into their B.S. nursing program due to resource contraints. The other community colleges offer training, but with the goals of getting students ready to go into a degree program such as the State U I just mentioned. So my question is, how does a person who already has a college degree go about switching career to nursing? Some private companies offer training but I remain skeptical about their credibility.
