Direct-Entry BSN Programs for High-School students.

Have you compared your college courses you’re taking while in high school to what the prerequisites are for non-direct entry nursing programs? How many classes would you need to take to meet the requirements? Can you take whatever you’re missing over the summer? It might be worth it in your situation to look at your in-state College options who would accept all your associate degree classes and shave 2 years off college. Direct entry programs are 4 years long which gets expensive.

The whole point of college in hs is to curb college costs. A quick google search brought up East Carolina State as a two + two program. Once you’re actually a nurse and have a couple years of hospital experience you can literally throw a dart anywhere in the US and get a job. Plus you could be a nurse traveler and take 3 month contracts all around the country and abroad.

I was also looking at MCPHS-Boston which is an accelerated direct program, but they are really expensive. Im trying to keep my options open.
