Start completely new?

Your answer can be found by calling the registrars of the schools you are considering and asking them. They will be able to tell you what, if any, of your credits can be applied, whether there is a bachelor's-in-anything-to-BSN-or-MN option available to a sor-rel-anthro major, and a host of other things as well.

Competition will be fierce, though. Check carefully to see if you have words out in your written application. :rolleyes:

You can also search for schools in your area that may have an "accelerated RN program" and see what the school website says about what you may need as far as other classes and such. Good luck and keep us posted!!

My college degree allowed a few courses to transfer towards my degree.

maknoon · Mar 2, 2013

so I've found 2 places so far that have an accelerated BSN program within my area

http://www.bestnursingdegree.com/programs/accelerated-bsn/

Mount Saint Mary's College

and

Concordia University-Irvine

any former students of these 2 places?

Are nursing programs significantly different from one another? Or does it all come down to the NCLEX pass rate

145 taken 86.21% passed for Mary

49 taken 97.96%passed for Concordia

Look at their websites, and go to the college for a visit and tour. The "taken" numbers are vastly different, so the percentages are not accurate of an overall class passing rate-- at this point--meaning not based on close to 100%. You won't know what educational atmosphere will benefit you unless you go and look. It will also give you the opportunity to see which classes from your bachelors will transfer. Best in your endevours!!
