Registered nurses must be licensed through passing a national licensing exam. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics (http:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/healthcare\/registered-nurses.htm\u00a0), the demand for nurses is expected to rise due to several factors, including the increased emphasis on preventative care and the aging of the large baby boomer population. Accelerated nursing programs allow students who have a bachelor's degree in a different field (typically biology or health studies) to obtain a nursing degree (BSN) in 14 months of full-time study. Prerequisites vary by program, but typically include: 1 year of physiology and anatomy with laboratory 1 year of general chemistry with laboratory 1 semester of microbiology with laboratory Developmental psychology sociology statistics An overall GPA of 3.25 or higher is recommended \u00a0 Monmouth University currently offers advanced degrees in nursing, which require the RN as a prerequisite. https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/academics\/schools\/nursing\/nursingbsn.asp \u00a0 \u00a0"}
