hi everyone, this is my situation, i have got my bachelor's degree of medicine (we can go to medical school after high school for 5 years to get a bachelor's degree of medicine, it is different from america) and master's degree of medical science(3 years of scientific research work). i came to bay area of california,USA, with a J2 visa and i want to become a nurse here at california. because i have recieved medical education for 8 years, i had good command of medical knowledge. BSN is my first choice and i want to finish my BSN nursing program as soon as possible. But four years BSN program is a litter longer than i expected. but here is no accelerated BSN program at bay area and i want to live with my husband all the time, so i can't apply accelerated grogram for BSN. finally comes my question needing your help:CAN I GET MY BSN DEGREE IN ABOUT TWO YEARS OR A LITTLE LONGER BY BEING WAIVED SOME COURSES BY THE NURSING SCHOOL OR BY SELECTING MORE COURSES IN EACH SEMESTER? does anyone here having similar experiece? would you like to share your experience with me? your experience and suggestion will be of great value for me. my mail box is [email protected]. thank you and best wishes, spdn

HELLO EVERYONE, now i have decided to be a nurse and I have got bachelor's degree of biology, so i can apply to both of BSN & MSN. I know i can apply the MSN program for students with no-nursing bachelor which requires 3 years. but not sure how long will it take to get BSN and how much money will it cost to get a BSN or MSN respectively. i have heard many different opinions about this and i was confused . so is there anyone who can tell me exactly the difference between BSN and MSN on the issues of years needed, tuition, working condition, salary after graduation. This is very important for me to decide which ones should I apply. by the way, does the MSN have more chances of getting a job than BSN at present? thank you so very much for every one reading this post!!

thanks so much for your reply!

thanks so much for your reply!
