Many people have contacted this site for advice with this dilemma.  In my past experience there are two paths that you can take in this situation and they are either an accelerated program or a university program. Either way you go it is not going to be as easy as getting a double major and taking a couple extra classes and in some cases only less than half of your previous degree will transfer into a nursing program (varies from college to college). Generally speaking the accelerated programs are the faster way to go but you will have to go in steps verses all at once at the university program.

For example, if you have an AS Degree in Business you would need to satisfy all of the nursing prerequisites to the accelerated program before you could even start the nursing program. This would require you to go to schools that offer these services specifically for the purposes of transferring one or more prerequisites to your accelerated program. These services and some really good Accelerated Programs, LPN to RN Bridge Programs and University Programs can be found on the side bars of our site which are geo-targeted to your location.
