Hi, I am going for a career change and want to get started on my nursing degree YESTERDAY. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree and an Masters of Business Administration degree and currently just need on prerequisite before I can apply to the nursing program at my local community college (IVY Tech). The deadline to apply in order to begin the next session is September 1st (that will allow me to start the nursing program in Spring 2016.) I cannot take the summer session for the Anatomy & Physiology I class because I will be working full time (form 6 am - 10 pm) on a contracted job from June1 - Aug 1 and I would have to go to a proctored site during that time period to take the mid term and final. So bummer. But prior to that I'm working a flexible schedule and after that I'm working a flexible schedule. Thus I'm trying to find an online flexible course that would allow me to get the course work done asap. Ideally I'd like to start now and finish prior to June 1. According to the IVY Tech website to transfer the credit it needs to come from:
The courses must have been completed at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution. The regional accrediting associations include: Middle States Association of Colleges & Schools, New England Association of Colleges & Schools, North Central Association of Colleges & Schools, Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges & Schools, and Western Association of Schools & Colleges.
They also need to display a letter grade (because this course is considered an given a certain number of points to determine admission to the nursing program).
I also don't want to spend a fortune. So I've been researching and researching but I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. It seems that most of the truly go at your own pace programs are not accredited by the regional accrediting associations. And the online institutions that are accredited thusly, don't allow me to finish as quickly as I'm able.
Has anyone out there found the type of program I'm looking for without spending big bucks?
So far the only schools I have found are:
Thomas Edison State College - $491/credit online – 4 credit hours $1,964
May term = May 4 - July 26, 2015 (Registration dates March 27 - April 18, 2015)
June term = June 1 - Aug. 23, 2015 (Registration dates April 24 - May 16, 2015)
and
Southern New Hampshire University Approx $995/course — Southern New Hampshire University is a growing online school with a campus in Manchester, New Hampshire. The school was founded back in 1932 and offers over 60 undergrad and graduate programs through online classes. SNHU is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

But as you can see neither of those fit into my hope to start by the end of this week and be done by June 1st. Plus I'd like to spend less if possible.
