Thank you! I have been looking into classes, though so many of the prerequisites require science labs, which are often during the day! (Or the lab is at night but the class is during the day). Are you going the full-time route? I'd like to be able to work at least part time while I take classes. Are you working as well as taking classes?

Hello! I posted this in the Pennsylvania section, but it might also be more of a general-school-advice type question. I am a new member of this forum and I am looking for a little bit of advice. I live in the Philadelphia area and have been looking into programs and options to go back to school. I graduated from undergrad over 5 years ago with a BA in history, and I went on to go to Drexel's iSchool for a Master's in Library Science. I considered going into healthcare in my 20s, but I did not. I'm now working as a librarian, but I really want to go back to school to pursue a Nurse Practitioner degree (possibly PhD). I have been researching programs and feeling really overwhelmed. I know that I will have to go do some undergraduate prerequisite programs in order to qualify for any of the fast-track BSN programs here (Like Drexel's), but am really unsure where to start. I don't have many of the required sciences (Though I might have a Chemistry credit from my undergrad. I'm waiting on those transcripts to get here). I was thinking that I should take the science classes at Community College (probably CCP) and then apply to a fast-track program, or even a regular BSN. Does anyone have any recommendations? Has anyone been in this situation before? Is a fast-track program a good idea? Any help or advice is much appreciated!
