I took biology and chemistry classes 17 to 20 years ago, and I would like to transfer them toward a program awarding an associates level RN. Does anyone know of an accredited program that allows for such transfers? I think I just need a few more classes if the prior credits do count.
I do prefer an online program that is applicable in Tennessee.
However, if an online program does not exist, does anyone know of an RN program allowing transfer credits from @ 20 years ago in the West Tennessee area?
I do have a Master's in Social Work and a Clinical Doctorate in Social Work; I wonder if any of that schooling will bolster my application (speed up my completion date).
Hi AngelKissed857, Congrats on your As! I understood that online schools had a practicum component in the applicant's community, but that does not seem to apply to RN programs. I certainly believe in practical experience as well- just hoping to get the academics done online. Thanks for the response!

It depends entirely on your school. I'm in a very well thought of ADN program at my community college and concurrently in a BSN bridge program at a CSU. My Biology, Chem and Anatomy were literally 35 years ago, my physio and micro within 3 years of application. It wasn't a problem at either school. And I bet you remember enough.
I have Masters in Microbiology from India 30 years ago and I am thinking to evaluate my degree with WES. Is it possible to get admission to Accelerated BSN with my degree from India as they require non nursing bachelors degree
