NURSiNG, THEN PHYSICAL THERAPY???


iS iT P0SSiBLE T0 GET A BACHEL0R'S DEGREE iN NURSiNG AND THEN GET A MASTERS iN PHYSiCAL THERAPY???

D0 Y0U NEED PREREQUISITES F0R GETTiNG A MASTERS iN PHYSiCAL THERAPY THAT NURSiNG PR0GRAMS D0N'T 0FFER???

It will vary between programs, but the nursing prerequisite program is usually not as rigourous as the PT prerequisite program.

For instance, where I went to school:

Nursing requires Chem 110 and 210...PT requires completion through 211

Nursing requires Bios 213, 313 and 357....PT requires 208, 209 and 357

Nursing requires psych 102, PT requires 102, 225, 307

Our nursing program does not require physics, but the PT program requires 225 and 226

More math is typically required as well.

To say the very least, you will probably get SOME of the PT prerequisites, but will probably need to complete an extra year of school as an undergraduate if you hope to do both nursing and PT in the graduate program.
