I saw that too and was interested since its still in the field of helping. But exactly what you said there is no way of getting in without a prior nursing license.
And it takes aprox 1 to 2 years right now to even get into those programs at local community colleges. Everyone and their grandma is signed up.
Thanks though. I am actually going to do a little more reading on that though.
It is taking me 2 semesters (14 credits each) to meet the entrance pre-reqs for an accelerated BSN. It also requires a bachelor degree in a non-nursing field. BUT, come summer time, the program I'm doing is only 15 months. The accelerated BSNs are easier to get into (I think) because fewer people have bachelor degrees. BUT, you still need to ace the sciences, so....back to studying.
