Can you transfer after first semester of nursing school?

[arb29171]

I missed the deadline to take the TEAS exam and my grades for last semester posted later than expected; therefore, there's only one nursing program close to home that I can attend during the fall semester. It's a two year ASN program. The only problem is it's a small town community college that does not participate in the federal student loan program. Would it be possible to complete one semester of NUR classes and then transfer to another college/university that offers federal loans?

Has anyone ever done this? If so, how does it work?

You would need to check with the school that you hope to transfer to.

How old are you? You need to slow down and wait to get into a program from start to finish. There are so many factors that rely on this. You need to integrate fully with your fellow classmates and professors. Do you have all your prereqs done? If so you must be going associates. So, you've been offered a spot in more than 2 nursing programs...or have you?

How many nursing programs have already accepted you, and do you have all your prereqs done?

I'm 32. All of my prerequisites are done. I have a few more pre-BSN classes I can take over the summer. Like I said, there's only one program close to home that I can start in the fall (late admissions). Otherwise, I'll have to wait another semester before I have more options.
