Hi

My wife has done her 4 years Bachelors in Pharmcy from India. Can she become a nurse without having to go to college here and just appearing to the RN exam?

Thx

I don't think BPharm covers most of the BS Nursing Course subject or RN pre requisite.

Get your credential evaluated with respect to RN pre Requisite.
Any short fall you can take individual courses to qulaify to sit RN.
 
No

Nursing in US is extremely competitive to get in. With a B'Pharm from India you will need to get your degree evaluated for course equivalency. You best bet is to apply for accelerated BSN programs which are only 1-1.5 yrs long but once again are difficult to get in. Normally the requirements to get in are coursework in the following subjets.

3 English
1 Chemistry with Lab
2 Anatomy & Physiology Classes
1 Medical Microbiology class
1 Pharmacology class (Your wife should be fine here)
1 Nutrition class
1 Statistics class
2 Psychology Classes (Including Lifespan & Development)
1 Speech Class
1 Humanity class.
other reqts may vary by school.

No nursing school will let you take individual NURSING classes without being enrolled in either an ADN or BSN program.
Thanks
