title: Baccalaureate to MSN: an accelerated pathway for second degree students.
abstract: While most nursing schools are experiencing declining enrollment, the author's baccalaureate nursing program saw an increase in applications from one group of people--those with non-nursing degrees. Realizing the value of this group to nursing and the department, the author describes how an accelerated master's degree pathway was developed and implemented for those with degrees in non-nursing fields.
