Hi All, I'm new to this forum and would like to know about Accelerated BSN Program for International Students. Here is my current situation: I'm on Dependent Visa - hence no SSN (School provides a student visa upon admission) . So, I can't work in healthcare settings (background verification impossible). Have MS degree in non-nursing field. Transcripts evaluated by WES. Completed all the prerequisite (anatomy, physiology, statistics, microbiology, nutrition, psychology etc.) courses for Accl-BSN from Community College. Have voluntary work experience in non-healthcare fields Would like to know the following: Am I eligible to apply in Accelerated BSN program? Which colleges are recommended and accept international students? Is there any other way to pursue a nursing career in US? Thanks.
