Q: How far in advance should you apply for second (2nd) degree accelerated nursing programs ?
I just graduated from Wayne State University with a BS in psychology. And I decided I would like to get into an accelerated nursing program. How far in advance should one apply for these programs ? I still have five pre-req to take. I plan to take those over the course of the next two semesters. I'm going to apply to Wayne States program and University of Detroit Mercy. What starting semester should I be applying for ? Is the wait list long for these programs ? Any and all advice would be appreciated.

A: I would meet with an admissions counselor and find out. You probably can't apply until you meet all the prereqs. And those classes are hard to get in, find out if they rank applicants and what you can do to improve your chances of getting in.. GOOD LUCK

Q: Accelerated second degree in nursing (BSN) - what are the best schools for that in Michigan?
I'm about to graduate with a bachelor of science in health care administration. I've always been interested in nursing, though. If anyone knows about associates degrees in nursing that would be great too. As long as it's a program that allows you to be a RN, not a LPN, and has a reputation for 95%+ success rates on the NCLEX-RN.

A: Oakland University Michigan State University (My Alma mater!!) University of Michigan (The school I'm currently attending)

Q: Funding an accelerated nursing (BSN) degree?
I am interested in nursing as a second career. I already work in a hospital and I love the environment and I love working with patients. Switching to nursing would also mean a big jump in my salary. As I already have a BA and will soon have an MA in another field, I am interested in an accelerated BSN degree. These usually take 14 months. Because I owe so much for school already I really do not want to borrow any more. What are the options for getting an accelerated degree funded? Do schools offer full scholarships? Are there future employers who will pay back all of my loans since there is a shortage of nurses? How can I find out about my financial options? I paid a lot for my Master's and don't want to make the same mistake again.

A: Speak to the financial aid office staff at your school. Also, there are programs that will forgive student loans for nursing programs if you commit to working in an underserved area (for instance, a rural hospital).

Q: What are the specific differences in an accelerated bachelor's degree program and a regular one?


A: Acclerated programs are usually one class at a time for approximately 6 weeks, which means they cram 16 weeks of coursework into 6 weeks.

Q: Is there an online college with accelerated courses geared toward an Associates Degree in Arts AND Sciences?
I want to be able to earn an Associates Degree in Arts AND Sciences online as quickly as my work schedule will allow. I work around 55-60 hours a week painting houses and apartment complexes, so i'm searching for an online college/university that has accelerated courses or work studies to make my studying habits & work pace acceptable...with out a huge amount of money being thrown out in the process. I don't like wasting my time so if there's an accelerated online college out there where I could work as fast or as much as I am able to in my free time, I'd love to get more information about it as soon as possible.

A: I would regard online universities as the absolute last resort for someone seeking higher education. The quality of education these programs offer is minimal - there is simply no substitute for the kind of dynamic interactions and discussions that commonly occur in face-to-face college courses. Also, the quality of educator is significantly less at online universities - the best faculty choose to teach at real colleges and universities. Both the pay and work environments are far superior to online universities. So, for great classes from great instructors, go to a real college or university. Also, because of the minimal training they offer, employers and graduate institutions place little value in degrees earned from online programs. Many of these programs lack even basic accreditation for the degree programs they offer. Bottom line - you will receive little if any personal or professional benefit from online universities relative to what you could have received from a real college or university.

Q: Does anyone have any info on accelerated teacher certification for those who have a bachelors degree?
I have read that several states are desperate for math and science teachers, and will start you off immediately so long as you have a bachelors degree (I have one in biology with a focus on environmental studies and entomology). I am currently stuck in retail management (triple YUCK!!!) and would LOVE the opportunity to teach- any insight on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A: Well, there are States that are looking for math and science teacher, and some of those states do not require anything, but a bachelor's degree. There are, however, states that require you to take one year or so of teacher preparation in addition to you bachelor's degree before you can start teaching. I think there are only few states that require something above the bachelor's degree, so you have to know which ones are those.

Q: Accelerated degree programs in Michigan?
Does anyone know of a good school offering accelerated undergraduate programs? Ex: Michigan, Central Michigan, Wayne State, etc. Any experience would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A: 1. Southwestern Michigan College developed the accelerated degree program to meet the needs of adults who want to earn an undergraduate degree and for high school students who want to earn "early college" credits to jump start their education. With Southwestern Michigan College's new accelerated degree program, you can start classes in May and have a two-year degree by August of the next year. A two year degree in just 15 months. 2. Siena Heights University is a Catholic university founded and sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. Founded in the liberal arts tradition, Siena offers associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees, and accelerated degrees. 3. Baker College, the largest independent college in the state of Michigan, has the most focused approach to education and training available. We believe that going to college should lead you directly to a great career. And that's exactly where we come in. Unlike other colleges and universities, Baker is a career college, with one mission: to provide you job specific training so you can enter a more personally rewarding career right out of college. You will become a working professional in a successful career, not a career student.

Q: ?help..university or college with accelerated BSN for second degree?
is anyone knows a school in usa that offer accelerated degree online for second degree student? someone who as a BA and want to go to a nursing school..

A: If you're not already an RN, you can't get a BSN online. Online BSN's require someone to already have an Associates in Nursing and an RN license in a state- and somewhere to do clinical work supervised. You're going to have to go back, and do it on the ground. It's one of those things you can't learn without a substantial amount of hands-on training. The good news, is, your general education and electives are already done, so it'll be that much faster. The alternative is if your state will license RN's with just an Associates(Almost all will), you can go back to the local community school and get one, and then work and earn the BSN online after you get your RN license. There's too many online RN to BSN programs out there to make a list- they're everywhere.

Q: Which is better for obtaining a nursing degree- 2 yr college or accelerated nursing program?
I've already have a bachelors in general studies, emphasis in healthcare managment. I've just been thinking lately and I really do believe I would like to be a nurse. I mean at one time, I wanted to be a doctor- specifically a pediatrician. i'm just stuck on choosing what it is I would like to do for a career. Also, I'm thinking about getting certified in medical billing and coding. But I get mixed reviews about med billing. I just feel that will be something else that can be added to my resume and a great skill to have. I don't know......anyway, any info will help. Thanks

A: I am going to a two year college for my nursing degree. They say the credits can be transferred to the local state schools for a bachelors degree.

Q: are there any on-line colleges that let you earn an accelerated degree?


A: Depends on what you wanted your degree in. I am attending Western Governor's University out of Utah (I'm in CA) because it is the only program that is entirely online, working at your own pace, and is fully accredited for a teacher's program. I know they have other programs (nursing, business, etc.). You might want to look into them. It's about $3000 every 6 month term, which is a lot cheaper than other places. If you decide to go with them, could you please email me first? If I refer a new student, I get a gift card for Amazon (always comes in handy!). And I think if I refer you, you don't have to pay the application fee, which is normally $65. Good luck!

Q: What are the disadvantages to an accelerated BSN (Bachelors in Nursing)? Have you obtained one successfully?
I was thinking since I already have a Bachelor's Degree in spanish that I could do an accelerated degree in Nursing. Has anyone found that too difficult? Is it doable? Is there anything I should study more before considering something like this? Where could I obtain more info on this career plan?

A: The previous answer has a lot of errors. First of all, there are many accelerated nursing programs that are accepting a bachelors degree in any area. There are prerequisites but an accelerated program is designed for those coming from other fields. They will give you everything you need to be a successful nurse. You will become an RN upon completion of their program. You do not have to be an RN to get into an accelerated program. As far as nursing goes...I have done it all. I started with a 2 year degree and ended up with a Masters degree. I have been a nurses aide and most recently the VP of Operations for a multi-billion dollar health insurance company making oodles of money. Is it doable? ABSOLUTELY but it will take time and a commitment. However, what doesn't? I have been very blessed by my 20+ year nursing career. I have seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows but I can honestly say that I have touched thousands of lives. How many people get to say that in one lifetime. Go for it!

Q: accelerated nursing program - where can I find a good list?
I'd like to know where I can get info on a good accelerated nursing program. I want to know what the top accelerated nursing programs are, also the career track for second degree accelerated nursing programs. If anyone knows good accelerated nursing programs in nj, virginia, maryland or anywhere on the east coast, that would be great too!
