I believe you or someone else has asked this identical question not too long ago.

A BSN in nursing will be a 4 year degree – 8 semesters on a full time basis.
I’m not sure you should be a Nurse if I had to explain that to you.

We have a nursing school close to where I live and after looking at the website you have listed, it should take you two years or 4 semesters to take these required courses.

Comment on How do I get more financial aid (loans or grants) since I’m going back to school for a second degree? by Found-1

Grad students are eligible to borrow more money than undergrads, but it sounds like you aren’t really in a grad program. Take a hint of advise, a second bachelors degree is about as useful as a second high school diploma. Go for the masters instead.

When you run out of other options to get funding for your education, it may be time to get a private loan. These loans, also called alternative loans, come with a number of features and are somewhat flexible. Here is what you need to know about how to choose a private loan for your education needs.

These loans also called alternative loans, come with a number of features and are somewhat flexible. Here is what you need to know about how to choose a private loan for your education needs. Just like for any other loan, this one will be based on your credit rating. If you do not have one yet, you may need a parent, or someone else to cosign the loan for you.

Just how much you can borrow is in accordance with your credit rating. A private loan gives you the option to borrow just what you need. Assuming you have some funding from a lower interest source, you will only want to borrow what the other lending agencies did not give you for your educational needs. Remember that life goes on after college, and it would be good to have that debt paid off afterwards as quickly as possible.Before you sign on the dotted line for your private loan, though, you need to do two things. The first is to get a number of online quotes for the amount you need at least seven different ones. This will allow you to get a pretty good idea of what is out there, and what your options are. The last thing you need to do is to investigate the lending agency – make sure it is legitimate.

Comment on what kind of nursing program do you think i could get into without having great grades??? by US_DR_JD

In Texas currently, the RN programs are highly competitive. Whether trying for an associates or a bachelors program an RN program would generally expect grades around the 3.5 level, and even at the least competitive schools a 3.25.

If your college boards are not high enough to be accepted at most schools, then your odds of success in an RN program are questionable. But it can be done, if you want to study and put in the effort. If you can get into the school and show a good success on the prerequisites, then the schools will not look at your high school grades.

Otherwise, consider trying an LPN/LVN program. Once you have finished this program and have worked as an LVN for a while, you can use the hospital’s tuition reimbursement program to go back to an RN program. There are LVN to RN programs available.

Good Luck!

LPN – licensed practical nurse, also known as LVN – licensed vocational nurse.

This is offered at tech / trade schools. There are no general education requirements and you don’t have to be an outstanding student. It gives you the opportunity to prove yourself and get good grades and later you can get your RN degree from a community college in as little as a year.

RN programs are not offered by tech schools very often, it is usually in a community college or 4 year university. You can earn either a 2 year Associates degree or a 4 year Bachelor of Science in Nursing. It is competative to get into all programs, and you need to have good grades. You can start taking general education courses (non-nursing) for your degree early on, years in advance even, and they will use those grades when looking at your GPA for admission, high school won’t matter as much if you can get good grades with a few college courses.
