Cheapest Fastest RN to BSN???

[cookderosa]

The FASTEST BSN programs I know about are the accelerated options, and they are usually second degree (second BA) options (and $$$$). That's the lane I spent the most time investigating a few years back. If Dfrecore found one for 14 months and you only need an ADN to start- I think that's a winner.

Also, potential stumbling blocks would be missing credits in the lab sciences. If she needs any labs, she might be at the mercy of a slower pace due to the prereq sequence. Some of the accelerated programs I crossed off my list asked for College Algebra (I didn't have that).

Finally, I'll ask this sensitively, but how were her grades? One doesn't simply "just enroll" in nursing school. It's still pretty competitive. "B" students have a harder time that's for sure. I know many in real life who re-took every B class so they could rank up enough to even be considered. Depending on when she became an RN, it may have been different, but today, nurses are expected to bring very strong academic transcripts and care experience (which she has) to their application.

I wish her the best!!
