Searching for an accelerated BSN program

But what state do you live in??

Sorry - I'm not used to my normal signature, which has my location.

I'm in Ohio and current attend Ohio State.

Well here's a list of all the ABSN programs that are based in Ohio, you can check their websites easily. Cut and paste this URL into your browser, for some reason its not cooperating by clicking.

As I am exploring many options, I would like to get my options arranged to enter an accelerated BSN program.

The problem is, most of them start in the summer. As I don't graduate until June 14, 2007 and all accelerated BSN programs start in May or earlier June.

As a result, I would *really* like to find a program that starts in Fall (preferably) or Winter so that I don't have an awkward random year of. All I will have is a biology degree and I hate lab work and I sorta need a job that provides health benefits.

Anyways - as I don't want to waste a random year I'd like to start school between mid-June and January... earlier the better.

Due to massive debt already and future more massive debt from grad school, I would prefer to stay in-state.

So - if anyone knows of any schools that have accelerated BSN programs that start in fall or winter, I would really appreciate it

I don't know of any in Ohio, but you can check out Drexel University, which starts its ACE program in the Fall and Spring:

Also, UMDNJ, between its two campuses in NJ, starts its accelerated BSN program 3 times per year:
