I am certain that you had to take certain general education classes to earn your AA degree, so in terms of not having to repeat freshman English, you are good to go. What you need to do is to go to the website link for the nursing programs that interest you and read up on their requirements before applying to the nursing program. Most nursing schools require similar prerequisite courses such as anatomy, physiology, microbiology, etc., but from program to program, there may be one or two differences. Decide where you will be applying and where you will apply first, second, third, etc., and complete any outlier prerequisite courses later, if that will help. Make an appointment to see the nursing program advisor. They will get you the information you need to get on track.
What's your AA in? Any AA will almost certainly have some classes you can transfer in to a BSN. However, every University and BSN will have different requirements, so the best thing is to contact the nursing dept directly at UCF.
Generally you'll need an ASN (AA in nursing) to jump straight to a BSN. Contact the advisement at UCF.

Hello
I'm new to this website and been just a lurker.
In December, I will be graduating from my jr college and transferring to UCF.
I will be graduating with an A.A. Degree and I need to know if that will at all help me get on the track of earning my BSN.
I been looking all over online on a proper timeline of becoming a nurse but nothing had helped and everything just a mess!
Please Help!!!
