Thank you all for your replies. Yea there is a few of programs that ive research, Im from nyc that offer accelerated programs since I already have a bachelors but just need science pre-reqs. And I like that I'd be eligible for the nclex and then be an RN after about a year. But since I have to take those pre-reqs it might take me a few years but I dont mind. I plan on working, and saving up so that if I do get into an accelerated program; I can sacrifice a year of not working to become and RN. I also wasn't the best in math in college, but now that I am a little older, I really would like to commit to the studying and building up my math skills. Thanks again for your responses! :)

Hello everyone, I'm new this forum. I recently graduated with a B.A. in Childhood Education in Jan of this year. And although I've hardly dabbled in to the field of teaching, Ive been thinking about pursuing a nursing career. Based on what ive researched, although I have a B.A., the only way for me to consider nursing is to take pre-reqs at a community college, and then enter an accelerated BSN program, to obtain a second bachelors degree. My question is, is there an alternative pathway, and has anyone ever did this before? I plan on volunteering at a hospital to get an idea to see if this is what I want to do. Idk if im having wishful thinking but Ive always wanted to work in pediatrics or neonatal care. Thanks to those who respond :)
