Moved to California forum.

I think you will find you may have to start all over again as can be hard to have credits accepted from within the US at times never mind if done outside the US

Best bet....talk to a counselor

The average waiting list for San Diego community colleges is 2-3 yrs.

If you want an ADN, you will have to complete general education requirements for the degree. I recommend that you speak to school counselors to asses the courses you have taken. You might be able to petition the classes.

Good luck!
