I have a problem everyone, I graduated from an Medical Assistant school named Computer Systems Institute. I earned 38 credits from them taking major classes like medical terminology, anatomy and physiology. Now my problem is no schools will take my credits but (CTU) Colorado Technical University its an online school all my credits gear towards Healthcare management. I do not want to do that I want to be a nurse, I tried city colleges of Chicago Malcom X College and they wont take my credits because my trade school goes by Quarterly and not semester. now if Malcom X College was Quarterly they would of taken them.

NOW LOOK...... My plan was to go to Chamberlain College Of Nursing with my Medical Assistant credits but they wont take them either. I also looked into some online school after I get an Associates in Nursing there is a school called (GCU) Grand Canyon University, I talked to an adviser and she told me to go to Malcom X College and get my RN and transfer all my credits to them and I can work as a RN while earing my BSN online with them.

That's cool and all but I don't want to do ONLINE for nursing. I know my writing may be all over the place but can anyone give me some type of guidance to where I need to go.

What schools in Chicago take Quarterly credits?

PS- I have 3 years of Financial Aid left lol I was gone take my chance with city college since they are cheaper on top of that I am willing to pay out of pocket. 5-11 credits cost 1,067.00 and I was gone do a payment plan. SOMEONE POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION.

It's a good idea to be cautious. My advice? Take the least expensive option that's available to you. Community Colleges are a huge bargain. After you obtain your RN, you can always pursue your BSN. IMO, WCU is crazy expensive.... repayment for loans this big is just not feasible on a nursing salary.

Just retake the credits at Malcolm X. Don't be surprised they don't take your trade school credits - they wouldn't take my Bachelor's degree credits to fulfill prerequisites. But I did all my prereqs for my Master's degree at Malcolm X and it's a good program, plus I believe you get a bonus for the nursing program if the prereqs are taken through them.
