LPN VS ADN

Published

I was kicked out of nursing school(for reasons I prefer not to discuss -- school policy issue) I have a question. I currently have 57 credits towards and LPN certificate the schools that I have looked at so far only require about that much or a tad bit more. Should i just apply those credits to a regular nursing program? Would they even transfer in? IDK what I should do at this point. I want to finish LPN but this has been the most stressful time in my life and since I am nearly finished just wanna say screw it and apply to a public university as opposed to a for profit for the associates.

Any questions you have about transferring in previously awarded credits should be addressed to the specific schools you are interested in. They will be making the decisions and their policies will most likely differ. Contact each school and make an appointment to see an advisor to discuss your transcripts and the possibility of you starting at the new school. Good luck.

Well I have taken the compass test for placement, passed that one, waiting on test date to open up for TEAS test. I think I am going with one of the well known nursing programs in my area :)

You may find that the issue that caused difficulty for you in the first school, will be a problem that follows you. Most places will want to know why you are no longer with the other program. And most public programs tend to be more selective than a for profit school.

Thus it is best to have all your documentation available in regards to correcting the issue that caused you difficulty in your first program.
