Wow. I am not a nursing student, (yet), but this lesson in fluids chemistry was great! A very enjoyable read, and you have a sense of humor. Where do you teach because I want to go there! If I get my prereqs done and get accepted into nursing school, I hope I get a teacher like you.

Thanks and sorry for not replying sooner. It's a real quandary. For me, I figured it would make sense to go the accelerated BSN route rather than start from scratch for the ABSN but the accelerated programs are far and few between, and location is key. I don't want to take the prereqs at one community college in one state and then switch to an accelerated program in another. Especially Florida since they automatically accept all credits from Florida schools. Although at this point whatever works I will attempt. What I really need to know is if I register only for the prereqs at a community college and not matriculate into a program, since I only need 4 classes, will I still be eligible for federal student aid even though I have a baccalaureate? I can't find a definitive answer for this anywhere, unless I am being obtuse, which is highly possible.

Thanks, I will definitely look into that. I'm pretty sure Florida has reciprocity with its community colleges and universities so I may do that. I am currently in NJ and really want to go home. I've been here taking care of an elderly parent. Do you know if funding is available for post baccs, even if it's just loans, for the pre reqs? In a perfect world, I could get a grant but I doubt they are available for post baccs, even for nursing.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. With this deplorable economy and my love for the sciences, I have decided to get an accelerated BSN. I have a bachelors degree in political science and some of the science prerequisites already but need to take a few more. My question is this and I hope someone can answer me: Since post baccs can't receive grants but may receive loans, can I take the prerequisites at a local community college, where they will be cheaper or is there a better way to get these prerequisites done? My plan, though it may change, it to go to USF for the accelerated BSN program. Any information and advice on post baccalaureate funding for nursing prerequisites is what I need help with. Thanks!
