Changing Nursing Schools

Published

Hello Fellow Nurses/Students,

I have noticed that there is little uniformity between nursing schools, which makes it hard to change nursing schools. Is it possible to find a school that will evaluate the transcript and give me credit for the nursing courses that I have taken? Has anyone been successful in doing this?

Unfortunately you will find that most nursing courses with clinical hours will not transfer.

This is multifactorial in that every school has somewhat of a different curriculum, even if there are small difference. Schools also, do not want to vouch for clinical experience that their professors/clinicians did not observe. 

During my time in nursing school I met a handful of students who had to start from scratch when they transferred schools, this was the norm in 2010.

Nope. I transferred from one ASN program to another ASN program and only my LPN stuff transferred, along with gen eds.
