Requirements for Accelerated Nursing Degree and Accredited 2nd Degree Nursing Programs
A common requirement for both accelerated nursing degree and accelerated 2nd degree nursing programs is students’ commitment to become good nurses by furthering their education and training. Individuals who want to get an accelerated nursing degree can choose among three programs, namely Competency Based, Degree Completion and Master’s degree. Meanwhile, second degree nursing programs credit all courses completed by students in their first academic degree. Some of these prerequisite courses are microbiology, chemistry and human physiology. Both degree programs should adhere to clinical prerequisites of the state’s Board of Registration in Nursing and approved by the Board of Higher Education.
