What are the disadvantages to an accelerated BSN (Bachelors in Nursing)? Have you obtained one successfully?

Question: 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?

Answer: 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!
