How many years does it take to get your bachelors in nursing?

Answer 1

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year, which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is design to be a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study in the prescribed manner. The minimum full-time student registers for a credit load of no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the Bachelors and Associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees with the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

Answer 2

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long.

Answer 3

It depends on what your associate degree was in. Typically a bachelor's degree takes an additional two years after completion of the associates when the associates is within the same field of study. If the associates is in a different or unrelated field it may take longer because of the prerequisite coursework required. For example, if your associates degree was in education, then you would probably be missing the critical science courses which would include the following.

* human anatomy and physiology I * human anatomy and physiology II * microbiology * chemistry (inorganic, organic and biochemistry) While some of the professional phase nursing courses allow you to take some of the sciences courses within the same semester, it really is not a good idea. If possibly, I would suggest you finish all the science courses before entering the professional phase nursing courses. This, because the nursing program is one of the most intensive programs a student can hope to complete successfully. Thus, when you enter the nursing courses, you want to be able to concentrate on just nursing without as much interference as possible from other intensive courseswork.
