Honestly, your best bet is to speak with the advising department. They'll be the ones who are familiar with their programs, as well as any local ones you'd be considering. We've all had differing experiences and can only speak to what those are, but the adviser is paid to know these things and be able to help you. Keep plugging along and don't get discouraged. Are you considering an accelerated nursing program that is geared toward those with a BA in a non-medical field?
