<p>Some colleges have " direct entry " nursing programs ( once you get accepted , there is no need to apply again)
and
some colleges have a " 2 + 2 " program ( you attend that college as a pre-nursing & MUST apply to the nursing program after 2 yrs , admission is competitive, so many students don’t get in ). </p>
<p>You will take the pre-req. classes during your freshmen yr at that college. </p>
<p>Don’t confuse the Traditional BSN program ( for HS students to apply ) with the other "Accelerated BSN " Program you may see at some of the colleges websites.</p>
<p>The Accel. BSN program is not for HS students. That program will require applicants to have all/ or most of the pre-req. classes taken before they apply.</p>
<p>My D2 is applying to the Traditional BSN and
my D1 is planning to apply to the Accelerated BSN
so I know how “confusing” this can be! It is extremely confusing. </p>
