Excelsior RN grad to use state college for BSN

Published

Specializes in critical care.

Hi, I am wrapping up my graduation from Excelsior for my RN. I took microbiology and anatomy/physiology tests through Excelsior college. I am considering looking at Texas Tech, Angelo State university, or etc for an RN-BSN program online. I am concerned about if a more traditional state college will accept the microbiology and A&P credits from Excelsior, or would I have to retake these classes in the traditional classroom/lab setting. I intend to contact some of these schools to find out (so please do not offer that as advice). I was just hoping I might get a quick response from someone who has done the same thing a little more quickly. I have been considering looking at nurse practitioner school, CRNA school, or PA school after I get my BSN. I could do my BSN through Excelsior, but not sure if that would be good enough to get into a NP, CRNA, or PA school.

I am sure someone out there has confronted the same situation. I appreciate any info I can get.

Thanks,

Michael
