Bachelor's Degree in Health Sciences?

Published

Hello all,

I am currently a student at a community college and have 40 credits towards my associates in nursing. I am also currently working for Starbucks whom offers free college to employees via online courses with ASU. I applied and registered for ASU and was just recently accepted. The counselor had previously told me that it did not matter that I had not obtained my associates yet but could finish it with ASU and then obtain my BSN. Now that I have been accepted though she is telling me that I cannot work towards my BSN with their starbucks program unless I already have my associates in nursing with a previous school. She did however say that I can obtain my Bachelor's in Health Sciences. I am recently a navy spouse and will be moving from California to Chicago in two weeks, and then moving out of Chicago in only a year. I am not sure if it would even be possible for me to do a nursing program over the next six years of military life. Would it be best for me to hold off on ASU and try to obtain my associates in nursing by bouncing around schools, or is it possible for me to obtain my bachelor's in health sciences and then after the military join an rn program? This fall I am also signed up for phlebotomy courses at a community college in Chicago, and will be working as a phlebotomist during school over the next few years.
