I am currently going to Tallahassee community college. On my degree progress tracker it say AA transfer university to FAMU. 60 credits needed. But looking on tcc or and other nursing program website it says for ADN 30 general education classes and 42 clinicals then for the BSN 45 general education credits with 33 clinicals. So do I do 60 or follow the nursing curriculum

If you have any questions about your program, you should be addressing them to the Student records/Admissions office to clarify.

If you are asking for opinions, I would acquire the AA degree, then go for the BSN; you would get your BSN quicker than going the ADN route followed by doing a RN to BSN program.Only you can decide which path is right for you.

Medic6758 232 Posts Nov 20, 2014 Correct, so if you were to stay at TCC you would only be able to obtain a ADN degree. I am assuming you want to obtain a BSN, hence the AA degree.
ambitiousmom 6 Posts Nov 20, 2014 Yes, I want my BSN. So I do need the 60 AA transfer credits including the history and 24 electives, and not just the 45 Prerequisite Courses requirements for FAMU's BSN.
Medic6758 232 Posts Nov 20, 2014 As long as TCC knows you are look to obtain your BSN, the 60 credits required for your AA degree should contain the 45 credit hours needed for FAMU's BSN program.
