Lost need direction..please help

Posted 6 months ago Hello Nurses I am currently enrolled at a University that does not offer a nursing program. I have completed majority of my pre-requistes. I am just about two semester short from completing the common classes that majority of the nursing programs ask for. I dont know what school to go to, or if I have completly done the wrong thing. Is it a totally bad ideal to apply to a community college and get an associates degree, take the branch Adn-to-Bsn. Is that going backwards? So If I was to take that path, what exactly would be required to obtain my Bachelors, if I have already completed the prerequistes. Im so lost what should I do can someone please give me advice. Please and thank you

| Posted 6 months ago Absolutely go to a community college or transfer to a university that has a BSN. There are usually waiting lists for nursing school so talk to an advisor somewhere and get on the list. What is your current major and how far til you grad? If it is soon, get your Bach in whatever then go to a community college and get your RN is an option, then you at least have a bacholors degree, and didn't waste that, plus you will always have that to fall back on. Not sure if this helps, but... I WENT TO SINCLAIR COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND CAPITAL UNIVERSITY IN THE LATE 1980'S AND EARLY 1990'S. LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU FELLOW NURSING STUDENTS. |

| Posted 4 months ago One option that you might want to consider is finishing you bachelor's degree at the school you are attending now and then applying to an university that offers an accelerated B.S.N. program. This is for students who already have a bachelor's degree and are seeking a B.S.N. It should only take about a year or a year and a half to finish. |

| Posted 3 months ago You could definitely transfer to an institution that offers the BSN. Mercer, Emory or Georgia College & State University are a few there. Do some research and figure out what is best for you. I would not reccomend going to a community college though if you have already done all of your pre-reqs. Alot of the time they make you complete a certain number of pre-reqs there and then you would just be completing courses over again. Just do some research and find a College or University that will offer you what you need. Good Luck. |

| Posted 3 months ago GO TO A COLLEGE WITH HIGH NCLEX PASSING RATE, CAUSE TO BE AN RN NURSE THATS THE LAST TEST YOU NEED TO PASS. |

| Posted 3 months ago If you decide to be a nurse I would strongly suggest you get your BSN. Before the howling from ADNs and LVN/LPNs start I will tell you I am a RN with only my ADN. But if entry level to RN was a BSN our profession would command more respect and higher salaries. Again, I am an ADN. But I do wish I had devoted the extra time and money now. |
