Had to leave a nursing program will I get into another

Sorry this happened to you. IMO if you have used up your fed student loans and are into the private loans zone you might be paying too much for school. So it might be for the best that you have an opportunity to find a more affordable program. I'm not in nursing school yet but all of the schools in my area say that they take transfer students. And from what I've read here getting in as a transfer can be easier because places open up as some people drop out of the program. So with your grades I don't see why you would have a problem getting in to another school. You should go to the regional section of this board and look at the forum for your state for more info about specific schools you're interested in. Don't assume that your credits are nontransferable. A lot of the schools in my area have similar programs so I think that would depend on the school. Your best bet if you want good recommendations from your instructors is to begin applying now or asap. Some professors/instructors don't like to write letters if it has been some time since you were their student so take advantage of their willingness to write on your behalf while their memory of your work is still fresh.

As far as I know, the nursing courses are non transferable, so everything has to depend on your pre-reqs to apply for other nursing programs. If you got accepted into the accelerated bsn, then I don't see a reason why you can't get into other nursing programs because all the pre-reqs are the same.So just go and apply for it, you have nothing to lose. Your only problem now is financial, so you should apply to schools that have financial aid and offer loan at the same time.

wish you the best of luck

how much is your school? im not in the program yet, but im considering about the long term effects. my school is $50,000 for the BSN program.

you should research other schools in the area that are less expensive and apply, seeming that you dont have credit or cosigner (just like me). just remember that waterver school you go to has to be very cheap, affordable to the point where do you have to take out any any loans. in my area only Public schools and community colleges will allow you an education without taking out a massive loan (all the tuition is covered grants and financial aid).

most likely they will accept you...you might have to take their entrance exam or something like that but they will accept you. the only way a school doesnt accept a transfer student is if they left their former school on bad terms ex (cheating, disciplinary action or plagerism).

good luck Betty, even is if means you have to go to a community college. remember RN is a RN wheather is BSN or ADN.

I was almost in the same boat as you. I went to a BSN program that cost $40K for 2 years and ended up failing one course--- I could of made it up, but luckily I ended up being accepted to the community college accross the street from that private BSN program school!!

Since they were BSN courses, they did not transfer towards my ASN--but that's ok. I ended up finishing there, became an RN and now I get tuition reimbursement from my job!

so girl-- if I would of continued in that program, I wouldn't have been able to qualify for loans either because I had no previous credit, nor a co-signer.

I wish you the best of luck in your conquest of your RN degree!

keep applying to all the community colleges, and dont give up!!

It stinks that you have to pay all of that money and cant get any of your credits to transfer. I think that it's due to the fact that some schools have different criteria for their programs. The only nursing class that I know of that they are pretty good at transferring is Pharmacology. However, I do know of some schools that will let you transfer your nursing classes from another school....just as soon as you pass their apptitude test that costs somewhere near $500 bucks. It's always something aint it???

I think the fact that you have done extremely well in your first session of an accelerated BSN course will work to your advantage. You have people willing to vouch for the fact that you didn't just "wash out" and you have the grades to show that you can handle the accelerated pace.

Accelerated programs are so expensive. I'm applying now and while I'd love to get my BSN over and done with in a year and move on, I'd also applying to 2 year community colleges that I'd be able to pay for out of pocket on a payment plan.

One thing to consider- some programs offer excellent financial aid, while others don't at all. I wouldn't write off private school accelerated programs without first talking to admissions and seeing what kind of aid they give to accepted students.

Good luck!
