Is it possible to get your (bsn) bachelor's in nursing science in two years instead of the standard 4 ?

I have been in the medical field for 25 years, and I truthfully would answer; "Not if you want to keep you marbles intact and want to be a good nurse." There are a lot of nurses that are poorly qualified and not adequately educated to do their job because they rushed through the education process. This is not to say you cannot be a good nurse, but not with a bachelor's degree. If you want to be a nurse in two years, go through a community college and get an associates degree, then work at a large hospital, then go back to school at night for your bachelor's while you work. Many hospitals will pay the tuition and book fees to further educate their employees and keep them happy. Look into this path rather than trying to cram 4 years into 2.

try U. of Toledo in Ohio
USA

I doubt it. I don't think it's possible to do that mainly because of the sheer volume of classes you have to take, the scheduling of the clinical hours, etc. I'm currently working on my BSN, and the way it's generally done is that you start with a class and your class proceeds through the program together - you take between 14 and 16 credits per semester and you have certain clinical hours that are supervised by a nursing instructor. I can't even think of a way that it would be possible to do it. Sorry.

In theory, one could get a four year degree in two years if he took overloads and took classes during the summer. Coming in to school with credits from AP classes would also help.

However, in nursing aren't there practical classes where you spend time in a hospital working with doctors and patients? Do these have to be taken sequentially? It might be hard to double up on these. Check with your advisor to see what can be done

not if you want to be the best you can be. You need to clinical time, which you cannot get in 2 years.

You can get an RN in two years by attending an associate's degree program. If you already have the RN there are many RN?BSN programs out there which should enable you to obtain the BSN in two years.
