Okay my main objective is that I don't want to spend years and years at my community college. I want to branch out and finally be independent. I want to be an RN and then pursue my BSN. I'm trying to obtain an associates degree and I'm halfway done with my nurse pre-reqs. My question is after I pass the teas test and if I do get into the nursng program how long will that take till I can be eligible for the RN licensure?
Or is it possible for me to pass the Teas test in my community college and then transfer to a university to get into their nursing program and pass their licensure as an undergraduate? Can a university recognize my teas test scores from my community college?
I do take in mind that a community college would be way cheaper and possibly easier to get into the nursing program as opposed to UCF catering thousands of students with a waiting list, I just don't want to spend forever:\ in a community college if that makes sense. Can this all be done in 3 years at the max? How long is a nursing program exactly before you're eligible for the RN license? Should I do community then pursue my BSN at a university? I'm sorry about all these questions I have a lot on mind that needs to be guided and answered,lol. Thank you And any suggestions as to whats the best route I should do would be greatly appreciated.:thankya:
P.S. I'm new here so forgive me for the multiple posts, it's gonna take a lot of getting used to for me,lol
Thank You everyone, my mind has cleared up and I've decided that if I pass the TEAS test in my community college but don't get into the ADN program, well I'm not going to wait around. I'll just transfer to the college of my choice, and bring the TEAS test with me, since it'll expire in 2 years. I am considering just transferring to the BSN program but I also want to build up experience as an RN first. You know, just gather up some skills, have a whole new perspective, and working as one as I try to get my bsn as well. I know it'll take about 4 years in a university, but I know it'll be worth it. Thank You all:thankya:
Not all schools require the TEAS test for entry, and not all schools will accept it from two years prior. You can't just "transfer" to a BSN program. You're not even in a nursing program, so you can't transfer out of one. You have to apply and be accepted. Look at the requirements for every school you want to go to, the SPECIFICS, and to from there.
