Speeding up nursing prerequisites
#1
First of all, thanks to all of you for this amazing resource! I've learned so much looking through this forum.

I'm planning my path to getting a nursing degree. My tentative plan is to finish my first bachelors through UMPI or a similar competency-based program, and then apply to an accelerated second-degree BSN program. I think I can finish the first bachelors in a couple terms, but the prerequisites to apply for ABSN programs could take a whole year of set-pace courses (they can't be Sophia, Straighterline, etc, because GPA is calculated based on these courses). Most programs require at least: 

Intro Biology with Lab
Microbiology
Anatomy and Physiology
Chemistry with Lab
Nutrition
Pathophysiology

Does anyone know of a competency-based school that would have some or all of these classes in CBE format? It'd be great if I could just knock some of them out while getting my first bachelors.

On a related note, does anyone know if any of the competency-based schools have a publicly available list of the courses that are available in their CBE programs? Or do you just have to enroll and see what you get? It'd be nice to know in advance what electives you can take.

An alternate plan is to just take the prerequisites on Straighterline and apply for WGU's pre-licensure program, which accepts alternative credits for the prerequisites, but there's no guarantee I'd get accepted, so that could end up being a waste of time. 

Thanks in advance for your input!
