You can. Going through an accelerated program has exposed you to the stress of deadlines and having to learn a lot very quickly which you will encounter in graduate school. You should have a full year of clinical experience as an RN, however. Be sure those practice skills you had to acquire in a short time are well-grounded and familiar, as They will need to be almost automatic in a graduate program. Aftr all, nursing at any level is a PRACTICE discipline.
