    I think it would be best to ask for advice from a mentor of yours who have had enough experience in the nursing field.

    Thank You everyone, my mind has cleared up and I've decided that if I pass the TEAS test in my community college but don't get into the ADN program, well I'm not going to wait around. I'll just transfer to the college of my choice, and bring the TEAS test with me, since it'll expire in 2 years. I am considering just transferring to the BSN program but I also want to build up experience as an RN first. You know, just gather up some skills, have a whole new perspective, and working as one as I try to get my bsn as well. I know it'll take about 4 years in a university, but I know it'll be worth it. Thank You all

    This is true unless you already have a Bachelors...then BSN is 12-20 months.

    Everything in life takes time. Believe me if your ultimate goal is to become an RN, don't rush it. Don't think it will happen over night. Even if takes you 2 years, so what, you'll, hopefully, be getting all the learning experience you need to become a competent nurse.

    Your questions are very specific and/or detailed. Does not your school have a website with nursing page? Usually tons of information can be found there, if not, go in and speak with an advisor. Curriculum changes each year, they may require you to take a few more classes prior to nursing courses.

    Good luck!

    Not all schools require the TEAS test for entry, and not all schools will accept it from two years prior. You can't just "transfer" to a BSN program. You're not even in a nursing program, so you can't transfer out of one. You have to apply and be accepted. Look at the requirements for every school you want to go to, the SPECIFICS, and to from there.
