Traditional BSN program if you already have a bachelor's degree

I'm not sure an accelerated program is right for me, but I already have a bachelor's degree. If you do a traditional program, are you starting over from scratch? I'm looking at UNC specifically since that's where I got my first degree and I loved the school. I'm just not sure how it would work. Could I transfer the classes I did well in and retake others along with the remaining pre-reqs I need for their program? Will they still consider my GPA from my previous degree even though I would be choosing the traditional route rather than going the accelerated route? I know I need to speak to an adviser, but it's going to be a little while before I can make it to Greeley due to work and what not. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I am not sure about UNC but you could look into their website. For UCD, if you already have a BS, and complete all the prerequisites, then it will take you 2 years to complete traditional BSN.

Can't comment on UNC, but look closely at UCD! Their "accelerated" program is not all that accelerated and drops a lot of prereqs, PLUS your application drops to the traditional BSN admissions if you aren't chosen for their ABSN.

You shouldn't be starting from scratch.
