Manuel has a baccalaureate degree in biology and wishes to make a career change to eventually become an advanced practice RN. Which of the following courses of study would be the most time-efficient choice to meet his educational goals?
A) Master's degree in nursing
B) Baccalaureate degree in nursing
C) Doctoral degree in nursing
D) Associate degree in nursing
Ans: D
Students may be admitted to master's programs in nursing with a baccalaureate
degree in another discipline and are granted a master's degree in nursing after completing an
established 2-year program of study that prepares them for RN licensure. However, people
who already possess baccalaureate or higher degrees in other fields sometimes seek admission
to an associate degree program, often because it can be completed in a shorter period of time
than would be needed to earn another baccalaureate degree (though accelerated baccalaureate
programs are becoming more common).
