ASN programs that take transfer credits from other nursing schools?

[ErikaMarie]

I failed med surg 1, had to re-take, passed, then failed my final exam of med-surg 3 which made me fail the class the day before graduation. Since this was my 2nd strike, I was kicked out of the program. I was offered a loophole. Take the LPN program & then they would let me back in to finish the RN program. I did that but they reneged & want me to take all the classes over again; classes I had already passed. I appealed to the board of higher education but they dismissed my complaint as if I was trying to get out of taking classes required. The web portal actually shows I only need the one class for my ASN, but the nursing program denies me anyway. 

With the pandemic, I know that colleges are offering a lot more now by way of online classes & such, & I googled & did find a very competitive BSN program that says it will take transfer credits for nursing. If it is my only option, I am considering that route but really just want to get that RN behind my name first & would like to find an ASN program that will do the same. I've been an LPN for 5 years now. Any help would be appreciated.

I know this is an old post, but the reason you have to retake the entire program is likely because the nursing courses are all over 5 years old. I don't think any program will transfer those credits. You could try Chamberlain or WGU. Good luck.

Hi Erika, I'm in a similar situation. Just failed out of an ADN program in the 3rd semester for a stupid mistake and they won't let me back in. I am looking for a few options. Were you ever able to find a school that would let you transfer in?

Hey were you able to find a school that accepted your credits you already have ?

Even if you find a BSN to take your asn type credits ,you will be required to take upper division classes which are the equivilant of a two years worth of credits ,in addition to math and others and if you did not learnAPA ,you will have to learn to do this.They do not make it easy ,for good reason,lives are at stake,good luck to you.
