Changing NP program part-way through

[ghillbert, MSN, NP]

Has anyone switched schools/programs late in the program? How and why? My school has decided to offer a subject that has always been on my curriculum plan for Spring 2012 only this summer - so if I don't do it now, I can't graduate on time!

I already delayed graduation by a year to take time off for family reasons, so it has been 3 yrs of part time study + fulltime work at this stage. I am tired. I'm ready to be done. I am very annoyed as I will now have to try and get off work schedule that is already set (work FT), as well as come up with thousands of dollars at short notice. Not to mention, they still haven't decided which dates the class will be held on, but it's going to be every other week in the middle of the day.

By the end of this semester I will have completed 300 clinical hours, and have remaining 15 (of 47) credits including a further 420 clinical hrs.

Should I just suck it up and finish the next yr or would it be worth changing to a more organized/flexible (distance or campus) program? Is it even possible to switch midway without missing a term?

R u switching programs at the same school? Or to a new school? The new school will not likely accept all your credits. When I looked into switching new schools the most the new schools would take was 12 credits, the rest would gave to be retaken. So if so, you will be out more money likely.
