Lower chance of admittance for a 3rd year student applying for 4-year nursing program

most transfers usually allow 60 credit hours to be applied to your new degree plan. This usually gives you enough to carry over all your basic core courses, plus some electives.

Don't waste your time getting a bachelor's right now. Get into nursing while it is still "recession proof." hospitals all-over are already experiencing hiring freezes.

If you can, go for an ADN program. If you already have your Anatomy, phsyiology, micro and a few basic psychology, then you are well on your way to finishing with a work ready degree. You can always do an RN bridge to master's later (and without using up all your pell grants and federal student loans.)


To boost your application, start looking for work as a nurses aide, CNA, or patient care tech. Even a unit clerk in a hospital is great experience to start you off in the hospital and make you more attractive to nursing schools. Good luck in whatever you choose.
