Schools for 2nd coursers - BS Nursing

gemini_star, BSN, RN · Jun 2, 2006

This is for aspiring second coursers who plan to take BSN as their second undergraduate degree. Do not fret there are many reputable nursing schools which are open to deserving second coursers. It just takes time and critical thinking in choosing which one. My only advice is that do not rely just on this page. Visit the school as this will give you the whole picture. Inquire as often and do thorough background research. You will be investing your money, time and your future. I only did Step 1 in searching process and that is which schools accept 2nd coursers. The rest depends on you. As you can see, it is not complete and I only put relevant information in schools that I have visited for myself or have researched. Please send me a PM or post here if you have any new information you can share. I'll be glad to edit the masterlist. I may have missed out other schools, just let me know. Goodluck!

gemini star, how about mindanao medical foundation college? as far as i know they are the only school (accepting saturdays and sundays classes) in davao with special programs for 2nd coursers - especially those (like me) that are working during weekdays. any advice you could give is highly appreciated.:icon_hug:

hope this helps.. i asked for the base amount of regular incoming students so we can know the range of their tuition... they all accept 2nd coursers or transferees like me who has some kind of situation since i stopped for quite sometime... some of them would be more than willing to answer your questions while some would be so blunt as if saying we don't need anymore students... the last two colleges weren't included on the list but my friend provided the numbers after knowing am going back to school...can't wait for monday for assessment of my subjects if any would be credited... by the way, i also learned that UMAK has the Regis program so fo those who're working in the mornings has the chance to go after work... the guy i spoke with also told me that you have the option to go to the provinces where they are sent (davao) to finish or complete your DR/LR/Nursery cases i'm not in favor of staying there for 2-3wks just to finish my cases...anyway, will be posting what happens if i get the chance to visit them...call them first before dropping by...
