I'm amazed at the differences between college requirements and thought it would be interesting to see those differences.
I attend a community college and by the time I graduate I will have 112 credits toward my ASN.
What about you?

Well, I have a bachelor's degree and around 60 credits on top of that from grad school and some business classes plus an additional 44 (I think) back from paramedic school pre-Bachelor's degree. Throw in this BSN crap, and that's an additional four semesters of 15 credits (60) plus three additional credits from the nutrition class I had to take. You do the math. It's sickening really.
Sounds expensive.
Nah the paramedic thing was cheap and a good investment. The BS came with an academic scholarship. And tuition was less than half what it is now when I took the accounting courses. The BSN program is the only college I've ever deemed as pricey at $3,300 per semester.

Close to 250 over 10 years. Moral of the story: transferring schools multiple times and changing majors multiple times both suck. Taking cheap community college courses for fun is awesome.

Hmm, I have 144 now, and still no bachelors degree :/ I have 2 associates degrees and am working toward my ADN. When all is said and done I will have about 185 credits
