I have graduated from Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Afterwards, is it possible to take Masters in Information Technology? Even if the bachelors degree is not related to the masters degree? or do I have to take up another Bachelors degree for information technology from scratch? I'm asking this because bachelors is too long, 4 hours. While masters is only 2 years, which I prefer. Thank you so much for your help. :) I mean bachelors is 4 years, while masters is only 2 years.

I doubt it you can jump from nursing to IT. I suspect you will have to take up another Bachelors degree in and IT related subject to progress onto the masters. It does depend on the university though.

I think you have to first take few subjects related to IT and then YOU CAN SHIFT YOUR FIELD FROM MEDICAL TO IT....

Find a university at which the general courses (english, history, math, sciences, phys ed, etc) of your nursing degree will transfer to satisfy the first two years of their bachelor in IT. Then go for only two years to satisfy the requirements of their bachelors in IT. You will not be allowed to enroll in any 2 year masters program in IT with an unrelated bachelors degree that I've ever heard of. Some grad schools may set you up on a three year course of study to get their Masters in IT, while others will require you to get your bachelors first. UT Knoxville, for example, offers a three year masters degree in Architecture for those with an unrelated bachelors degree. An outside shot is if some university offers a two year "health science" IT masters degree - to qualify those with health science bachelor's degrees to work in IT jobs in hospitals. If such a program exists somewhere, it would probably be at a university that also has a med school like Vanderbilt. There is no point in getting an associates in IT when you already have the first two years worth of courses for most bachelors in IT completed already. If you just want to get out of nursing - you could probably get a job at a drug company. My sister was a nurse and now flies around the country for a drug company monitoring the research the doctors are doing with their drugs. She makes six figures and didn't have to go back to school. If you do go back to school, try to get into an internship so you'll have a job when you graduate - there would be nothing worse than spending all that time and money on a second degree and then not be able to find someone who would give you a chance to do it.
