RN to BSN NYC

Published

Hi, i'm interested in becoming a nurse. i graduated in 1999 with a BS in Business. Any advice on where to find a good school with a BS to BSN program in the ny metro area? I will need to go at night since i still have to work during the day. i heard i could attend BMCC at night and would take about 2 years plus a year for pre-reqs.

any thoughts?

thanks!

Carmelisa,

A good place to look for a list of programs by type is:

http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/nurse_ed/nep_index.htm

With a previous bachelors you can look at the bachelors category for "BSN or accelerated BSN for those with previous non-nursing degrees"

You could also look at "MEPN - Masters entry level programs"

You could also look at "ADN - associates degree in nursing"

The type of program that you go after will be limited on your time line, location, etc and will be influenced on what type of nurse you want to be.

Either way many of the pre-reqs are the same...so I'd glance at a few programs and start locking down on those pre-reqs.

Good luck on your path!

Since you already have a bachelor's, your best bet would be to do an accelerated BSN. Columbia, NYU, Hunter College, Pace University, and others all have programs.
