I have my transcript and ASN certificate from school in Florida, I have done my NCLEX twice,and was about registering for the 3rd one when Newyork board of nursing ask me to hold that most schools are placed on hold and I need to move ahead. I want to know if I can get some credits from my transcript and my nursing certificate and start another ASN from your school

It depends. Typically, you cannot transfer credits from the nursing program, meaning you must attend another program, but some of your prereqs may be transferable.

But it never hurts to try. Be sure to apply to accredited schools.

To determine if you can transfer credits from your transcript and ASN certificate to start another ASN program, follow these steps:

  • Research ASN programs. Look for ASN programs at various schools and universities that accept transfer students. Some community colleges and universities offer ASN programs with transfer options.
  • Contact admissions offices. Contact the admissions offices of the schools you're interested in and explain your situation. Provide them with details about your transcript, ASN certificate, and experience with the NCLEX.
  • Credit transfer policies. Ask about their credit transfer policies. Each school has its guidelines for accepting transfer credits. They will evaluate your transcript to determine which credits can be transferred.
  • Course evaluation. Some schools might require you to submit detailed course descriptions or syllabi from your previous program to evaluate the equivalency of courses.

 Hopefully, your previous school is accredited, as this can affect the transferability of your credits. Also, inquire about any specific requirements or additional prerequisites you may need to fulfill.

 Follow the application process for the new ASN program, which might include submitting an application form, paying application fees, and providing official transcripts and documentation.

Once admitted, work with an academic advisor to plan your course schedule and ensure that you meet all the requirements for graduation.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
