Planning to Pursue BS Nursing as a Second Degree in the Philippines

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a graduate of Agriculture (non-nursing first degree) and am planning to pursue a second degree in BS Nursing here in the Philippines. I want to accelerate my path, so I’m particularly interested in schools or programs offering accelerated BSN for second-degree holders.

  1. How should I prepare financially, academically, and emotionally for this shift?

  2. If you’ve been in a similar situation (transitioning to nursing from a non-nursing degree), how did you adjust, and what challenges should I anticipate?
