There are a number of youngsters who are looking for a lucrative career option but haven’t been able to find one. Plenty of men and women lost their jobs in the last few years because of the recession hit economy and are looking to switch to a better career. Making a switch to a new career is not an easy task but there are certain courses that allow you to embark upon successful careers the easy way. Nursing is one such career that you can pursue even if you do not have a nursing background.

Nursing education consists of a number of courses and there are specific courses that are designed for people with a non-nursing background. Accelerated BSN is one such program. BSN is an abbreviation for Bachelor of Nursing. A bachelor’s degree in nursing is a four year program but an accelerated BSN nursing degree would not take up a lot of your time. A typical accelerated BSN course is a 20-months course but you can complete the course in 12 months if you are a quick learner.

Joining an accelerated BSN program is also available as one of the most popular online allied health degrees. This course would embed in you all the necessary skills that a nurse needs in order to work at a medical center. The shortage of nurses in the country has led to a heavy increase in the annual salary of nurses and hence you do not need to worry about the money once you are through with the course. There were almost 12,000 students who enrolled in an accelerated BSN course in 2009. Currently there are no scholarships being offered for the course but scholarships are soon to be incorporated in the near future. The course content is so designed that you would get proper clinical experience and you would get to learn about the various nursing procedures that are to be performed at a medical center.
