nursing school transfer advice

My daughter was accepted into a BSN nursing program after completing her pre nursing courses at another school. Although she had enough credits to place her at junior level she was placed in a sophomore tract adding another 3 years before graduation instead of the anticipated two. Although she is in the planned clinicial rotation with the younger group, she also must take additional pre-nursing humanities courses with the younger group. Do you know of any schools that she could possibly transfer and just take the nursing coures and not re-take the humanties? (Possibly shaving off a year in school)?

Re: nursing school transfer advice

i don't know. you would have to research other schools. it really depends on how long the nursing program itself is. when i got into the nursing program i had enough units to be a senior at my school, but was considered 2nd year in nursing because i hadn't done the nursing classes themselves (yes, pre-req's were done). i really don't think your daughter is going to be able to shave time off her program. there is a series of classes yoiu have to take and won't be able to get around.

Humanities are required for all schools. The reason is because your daughter took them at 100 and 200 level at her previous school. She needs those classes at 300 level. Biomedical Ethics, Religion are not offered at 200 level. She doesn't have any other choice. And as for the thing with the three year option, you should ask her to be frank with you. If she gets a C during her first 2 semesters, she will be sent to the 3-year program. Watch her because because she is subject to be kicked out if she gets too many Cs.
