Are accelerated nursing degree programs only available to individuals who already have a bachelor's degree in a healthcare-related field?


November 6th, 2023

I had obtained 3 degrees (2 of which were masters) before I decided to go back for my BSN. You don’t need to have a BS in a healthcare related field in order to apply to accelerated BSN programs. My undergrad degree was in chemistry. The only thing I had to do prior to applying for the BSN was to take a few classes like anatomy/physiology and microbiology!
