My husband just got a job in Dallas and we are both very excited to move to Texas and start our lives there. The only problem that we have run into is the fact that I am two semesters away from graduating in an RN Nursing Program from a Community College here in New Jersey and I don't know if should stay in New Jersey (and my husband goes to Texas by himself) until I graduate next May or if I should go with him and try to transfer my credits to a school there. What do you guys think? Are you aware of whether Nursing credits from a community college would easily transfer or whether I would have to start all over again? Will there be a waiting list for transfer students?
This has been a tough decision for us because while I do not want to live away from my hubby for 8 months, my heart also sinks with the thought of not graduating any time soon. I fear I'll lose credits and delay my graduation time. I absolutely love Nursing and I can't wait to become a real Nurse!!
Thank you all for your help - I really will appreciate any thoughts or advice!!

With competition so stiff in DFW, how popular is EXCELSIOR ? I am almost done and love it as I am also a travel nurse at times.
Since my home state of California does not accept RNs who have completed their educations through Excelsior College, I don't think I'll be taking that pathway. After all, I might have to return to my home state someday if my mom's health fails, and I would like to have an RN education that California will accept.
