I’m extremely interested in Nursing, and believe that’s what I want to pursue. I want to start a program right away. The local community college has a 3 year waiting list just for the associate degree (whereas I’d like to get my bachelors), and UW Madison accepts a limited number every year.

I want to find a program that’s fairly inexpensive (<15k/yr) and that I can get into right away so I can finish in 4 years. I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs in the area, or even possibly in Minnesota or Illinois. I had looked at Illinois Wesleyan because they offer a direct admission into their nursing program, but they rarely allow transfers into the school. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
