U of M, St. Kates or MSU???

U.S.A. Minnesota

I am looking into taking prerequisites for nursing school and applying for school for next fall. Where is a good school to take prerequisites? Any online coursework acceptable? Also, I am looking at the U of M's Master of Nursing, St. Kate's BSN, and Metro State's MSN programs for nursing school (I already have a BA in Business). I know they are all very competitive and reputable schools, but I am not familiar with their nursing programs as I know some of these accelerated programs are fairly new. Any feedback would be really appreciated!

Thanks again for your input kmarie! I plan to take Psychology, Nutrition & Chemistry this summer. Hopefully, if accepted into the program, they will count for credit. I am torn between trying to shoot for one of the Masters programs at the U of M or MetroState (that way I will not have to spend the extra time/money to get my masters), however, I am in love with St. Kate's program and night/weekends scheduling. If you could do it over, would you do an accelerated Masters program instead, or do you feel like you need the experience before you go that route?

Kat,

St. Kate's changed their transfer requirement for Chemistry this past fall, so double-check their website to ensure that your chemistry course will transfer. I found out that my MCTC chem class will not transfer anymore (it used to), and so now I have to re-take it. :p

Lola, you rock! Thank you so much for the info, I really appreciate it! I will definitely re-check the requirements. Sorry to hear that you have to take Chem over, however I am sure you will speed right through it having already taken it. Good luck and thanks again!
