<p>Here are some to consider:</p>
<p>U Washington [School</a> of Nursing | School of Nursing](<a href=“http://nursing.uw.edu/]School”>http://nursing.uw.edu/)</p>
<p>U Minnesota [Academic</a> Programs - School of Nursing, University of Minnesota](<a href=“http://www.nursing.umn.edu/Education/home.html]Academic”>http://www.nursing.umn.edu/Education/home.html)</p>
<p>U Iowa [The</a> University of Iowa College of Nursing](<a href=“http://www.nursing.uiowa.edu/]The”>http://www.nursing.uiowa.edu/)</p>
<p>Creighton [School</a> of Nursing :: Creighton University :: School of Nursing](<a href=“http://www.creighton.edu/nursing/]School”>http://www.creighton.edu/nursing/)</p>
<p>Oklahoma [The</a> University of Oklahoma College of Nursing](<a href=“http://www.nursing.ouhsc.edu/]The”>http://www.nursing.ouhsc.edu/)</p>
<p>I think it might be difficult to directly enter a BSN program as most have pre-requisites. UW probably would be the most competitive.
