According to Vicki a Bachelors of Science in Nursing takes 7 years and Brianna did it in 3. I thought it was a four year program . .
Wait 7 years for a BSN?

Vicki from RHOC.
I thought so because I know several RN's and I was pretty sure their program was 4. |

If a BSN was 7 years, why wouldn't you just go the extra year and become a doctor?

Yeah my degree is in speech and audiology but I started off in the nursing program at uconn and it was 4 years. I switched to speech and aud after 2 years. A
lot of the girls I started with graduated in 3.

It's a 4 year program. You can do it in 3. It does NOT take seven 7 years. I have one year to go to complete a BSN. Which would make 3 years total.

Definitely not 7 years. It's generally 2 years to do prerequisites (sometimes less), and the nursing program itself is 2 years. However, there are some
accelerated programs out there, which are faster.

Accelerated programs are for people with previous bachelor's degrees only, right?
I did my prereqs and nursing courses all at once, so it was 18 credits a semester. So, I did 2 straight years but it was an ADN-RN program. |
