RN-BSN Program that doesn't require so many prerequisites

I have an associates degree in nursing and I was looking for a program that doesn't require so many prerequisites to obtain a BSN. I have looked at another program and was told I needed a total of five, but some of the classes require you to have a prerequisite before taking a class. For example, to take literature at my local community college I need to take another english to be eligible to take the course. So it ends up being more courses for me to take, in the end it will probably be 6 or 7. To take one class at a time it will take me more than two years to complete the prerequisites. Some classes I can take online and most I cannot. Making time to attend campus classes and fitting it in to a full time work schedule is hard, it leaves little room to study. My local community college requires you to attend class twice a week. When I get home from working my shift I don't feel like doing anything but sleep, I also have to commute 40 minutes one way. I know there are lots of people that find a way to make it work. Maybe I'm just asking for too much and it's not going happen the way I want it to.

    There are several online colleges listed on this website. I would suggest googling each one to review each curriculum and compare its requirements to what you've already received credit for. That will determine how many credits you would need in order to fulfill each area. Usually, the basics like English, the social sciences, and some electives are already completed during the pursuit of the ASN. Without knowing what you've already completed, it's hard to determine what you would consider to be excessive as far as prereqs are concerned.

    I'm completing my BSN through Excelsior College because I did my ASN with them and they accepted my statistics course. I had to take a writing course for them, but was allowed to take it somewhere else. But I had already taken ENGLISH 1101 & 1102 at a community college. However, I like American Sentinel University and Chamberlain College of Nursing because they have 8-week courses instead of 15-week courses. I loved Western Governors University because of the possibility of completing the degree in 6 months with drive and motivation, but I didn't have a lab component to go along with my sciences and was not about to repeat those for anyone. You just have to shop around to find the one that closely fits your needs based on what you already have and what you are willing to do.

    Good luck!
