College accepted A&P1 and 2 from 8+ years ago. Now what?

Published

Hi everyone!

I am going back to college to pursue a Nursing degree. I started 8+ years ago, got accepted and life happened and I withdrew. Now 8 years later im back and ready to pursue my dream. I just noticed that the college i applied to has accepted a&p1 and 2 for transfer along with other courses. They didnt take my Microbiology tho which is fine. Now im wondering if you were me what would you do? Is this correct? Isn't 8 years way too long to accept those classes for transfer? I would appreciate any and all advice! Im guessing I could brush up on things by rereading my textbooks and such but Im just wondering if this is normal.

You are lucky to have these courses accepted. You are saved time, effort, and money. I would just brush the dust off the texts and reread them, or buy a specific A&P review to read a shortened version. Do well in micro and your program. Good luck.

The college itself may have accepted them, but have you talked to an adviser for the actual nursing program? They may have a different policy.

Yes thats what I was thinking. Im not going to lie I felt a sense of relief when I saw they accepted them because I can get the boll rolling even faster. Im going to pick up a refresher book for anatomy in the meantime and read that. Thanks for your response and the well wishes :-) Im excited to be back on this journey.

I think I've read that some nursing programs will accept science classes that have been taken within the past 10 years, but that is extremely rare. As mjmoon stated, it would be best to speak with a nursing program adviser at the college.

I had to retake A&P I because I missed the cutoff by 1 month. Sure, it cost a decent chunk of change, but at least I know this information will be fresh in my mind come September (when I will hopefully start nursing school).

Yes I will absolutely check directly with the Nursing department. Great advice! Thanks :-)
