Nursing as a career? Where to get a degree from?

i want to take up nursing as a career, i see so many colleges giving out degrees in vocational nursing. Since i am older and all ready have a college degree i want to do a program which trains nurses in a year. What is the right school to get a degree from? I am a fluent English speaker but that's my second language. Can this affect my chances of making it good as a nurse?

Having another language is always a plus.
That you have a degree is not really relevant.
Search your local community colleges for nursing programs and see if they have a "ladder" program--after a year you can be an LVN/LPN. However, with one more year, you can have the RN and that's far more employable.

You MIGHT be able to find a "skills center" sort of offering for an LPN/LVN degree as well. Typically you need to have had certain core courses within a short space of time for them to count towards a nursing degree (or anything in patient care) so this may take you longer than you think.

if you have a bachelors degree you can also get an accelerated bachelors degree of science in nursing. these are really intense programs and the shortest programs are 12 months
