Does Maric College's ADN program transfer to any 4-yr university for a BSN?

[kjoy619]

Hello..........I am currently trying to get into Maric College San Diego's RDN program and I heard that the pre reqs there may not be transferable. Dpes anyone know if you can transfer to a 4-yr university right out of this program?? For an example can you get into State??

Any replies will help at this point!HELP!!!

Maric is like Devry college, it is not a real college. (Its just a vocational school) The units you take there won't be transferable and you're paying about $30,000 a year in tuition when you could get it much cheaper elsewhere. I'd go to a legitimate CC if I were you.

Devry isnt a real college? It was the better choice for the folks I know that went there and got very good jobs, experience (including my Husband)

To answer the original question: No. The credits do not transfer from Maric College to the public State or UC systems (referring only to California, since it seems that most in this thread are referring to San Diego).

BUT...

You can still enter a California public 4-year university's BSN program. Maric (which is now Kaplan) is acknowledged by NCLEX. Pass this, and nobody can tell you that you are not an RN. Once you are an RN, you can speak to a counselor of your chosen university. The usual path at this point is to pass a compentency test to enter the BSN program.

I know this because it is not unusual to have an ADN student in Kaplan already holding a bachelors in another degree. To become a nurse is a career change for these individuals. This usually means that whatever classes they took to obtain their original degree, is over the time limit for what is required to enter a BSN program (i.e. biology and math in the last 5 to 10 years).

Again, once you are an RN, you are an RN. You are now just obtaining higher education after the NCLEX has acknowledged and certified you.

Hmmm...this is a little confusing.
