So confused, help me out please. Pre-nursing
-
0Jul 5, '14 by JedaMHello all, I am new here. I saw this forum continuously pop up when I googled a question related to nursing so i decided to join!
I start school at a community college this fall, Borough of Manhattan Community College. My plan is to attend this college, do really good and then transfer to a 4 year university. My interest is nursing but my confusion sets in here: when I begin school, I will take all of my pre-Reqs? Correct?
after I am finishvwith that.. Do I apply for the nursing program? Or do I not since my plan is to transfer and receive a BSN? Is that possible? I'm really lost.
1. After I finished my pre-Reqs, can I attain an associates degree with out entering the nursing program?
im Not sure if my question is worded correctly but I hope someone understands
any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated. -
1Jul 5, '14 by TesfanurseYes, my friend and I both did pre-req at a community college then we transferred to a university's nursing program. I did not get my associates but she did... I will find out how she did that without going into the community college nursing program.JedaM likes this. -

0Jul 5, '14 by JedaMOh ok I never knew that :/. So I don't have to enter this extremely competitive nursing program if I'm going to end up applying for a university? And do you know how many credits? And approximately how long it will take? I know it isn't like high school where it takes 4 years for 40 credits

0Jul 5, '14 by MrChicagoRNA community college can be used to earn pre-reqs, co-reqs, or electives before transferring to a 4 year college. Some earn the AA or AS degree, some just transfer credits. If you want to be eligible to actually become a nurse, you need to enter into an actual program (ADN or BSN).
if you want to enter nursing as a BSN, you don't need to enter the CC nursing program, just earn the necessary credits for transfer. The counselors at the college can give you all the details. -

0Jul 5, '14 by TesfanurseI did not need to get associate degree... All I did was do all the pre-req courses the university wanted with the GPA they wanted. The university told me exactly what courses to take and off course the GPA

0Jul 5, '14 by invisiblewoundsI think nursing programs are competitive whether you go the CC route (ADN) or university (BSN). They are in my area, at least.
