It will depend upon the program you want to attend. Like most graduate programs, you are going to have to meet the program requirements. If your BSN does that then you should qualify as having lots of good experience also. Bruce PS Elizabeth is in school at Emory right now and is still getting her sea legs. She won’t be doing much with the site for a while.

Hey there,
While I am currently getting my sea legs, I still do have a somewhat answer for you. We have a girl in our program who got her BSN. I believe her requirements for that degree at her respective school was sufficient for Emory. However, I do know that as of last year at least, Duke does not count student hours as patient care experience. So just reiterating what Bruce said, it really depends on the program you are applying to. I suggest contacting the admissions departments of the schools you are interested in.
Best of luck with all !
