How long would it take to get a nursing degree in Michigan?
Categories: Nursing Degrees
I have a teaching degree with a major in general science and a minor in Bio and am certified as a CCT and have finished a diploma as a Cardiac Sonographer but no jobs in either profession but tons in nursing. I don’t want to go back to school for another year?? Do colleges actually work with the degrees you have to push you further?

Many schools have accelerated BSN programs that basically just give you the nursing courses and let your previous bachelor’s stand in for all of the general education requirements they would otherwise have. They just require some prerequisites to be taken first (sciences often have to be from the last 5 years). These programs typically take 12-24 months. Even if you just tried for an associate’s programs, you would still probably need at least a year or so of nursing courses (and it may take you a lot longer to get through the waiting lists, which are longer at community colleges). U of M, MSU, Oakland U, Wayne State, and U of M Flint all have second degree programs (there may be others…those are just the ones I looked at).
