Hey everyone.

Im currently enrolled in an online rn to bsn program but am thinking the school is not the best fit for me. Unfortunately, I have already started into and finished some of their core BSN credits.

Does anyone know of any online programs that accept core BSN credits from other schools?

Thanks!

When you say BSN core credits, are you referring to the prerequisite credits or the actual BSN nursing courses? My BSN program's core credits were mostly transferable in and out. However, the BSN nursing courses were not; but I don't think that was engraved in stone. It would depend on the course syllabus, which you would provide to the institution for review regarding the courses you would like to receive credit for. If the content of the course was very similar, you might be allowed credit if your grade was an A or B.

You would need to contact the institution to see what will and won't be accepted in transfer. I attended Excelsior College and was able to transfer in a nursing course that I had taken from Chamberlain. But my enrollment was in 2011. At the time, EC accepted a statistics course that Chamberlain would not. Now, EC no longer accepts stats and other courses from that particular source. Other things have changed since then, I'm sure....just need to call them..

Forgot to add that your courses will need to be from an accredited school of nursing.;)

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant BSN nursing credits. All places I have checked said essentially that they would not accept these nursing credits (the one's specific to a school) although they always recommend submitting just to be sure. I haven't done that yet as Im thinking it would most likely be effort in vain.

Still wondering if anyone has personally been able to transfer these nursing specific BSN credits or if they know someone who has?

I'm afraid you might actually be done with your degree before you find a transferable program. But who knows....
