Finish old degree first?

[Mistysmoke]

ok, i meet with the counselor at the local community college tomorrow, but, i thought i would see what others think.

i contacted my old school (dropped in 95) and though i cant finish my original degree, i could take online courses (27 credits i think) and get my associates of arts in general studies.

i am trying to decide if i should go that route, or if i should just go to my local community college and start fresh with the associates of science nursing.

i am just not sure if finishing up the first degree would help me in going for a bachelors. i feel really dumb right now and don't know what i should do. i figure the local college will tell me to go to them, so they can get thier money.

i thought i would just put it out there, maybe others have had this experience and have insight. thanks,

I'm curious, why would it take 2-3 years to get into a Community College Nursing Program.

At the CC where I live, there is about a 2 year wait (9 quarters) for the nursing program. I believe you can get on the waiting list when you have completed certain prereqs and passed the NET. Then you wait and it's first-come, first-served, more or less. I decided not to go there because I didn't want to wait 2 years, so I'm not 100% clear on the process.

Anyhoo, that's why it takes 2 years at that particular school.
