[quote=Anonymous]PP is not correct.  While the pre-reqs may take some time, there are several good second bacc programs for BSN's in the DC area.  There are also ADN programs in the community colleges that do not take 2 years of pre-reqs. (ADN's have a great deal of respect in many sectors.)  The 3.5 GPA is also not true.  Admission to nursing is competitive -- programs cannot over-subscribe their enrollments because of a shortage of clinical placements and difficulty in finding and sustaining top-notch nurse educators - but it is not impossible.  I would encourage anyone interested in nursing to look at the well-established schools in and around the District:  there are at least 6 (more if you extend to Baltimore and surrounding communities) and several good community college programs.

Good luck to those interested.  By the way, please call or email the programs (ask about their accreditation, btw:  they need to be approved or conditionally approved by the state licensing boards as well as by CCNE or NLN).  Ask about a) their accreditation b) their admission requirements c) the size of their applicant pool and the number admitted from that pool annually and d) the average length of program completion.[/quote]
