I'm hoping to start an RN bridge program January 2015. I have pre req credits starting from 2000, would that be an issue? Would I have to retake those old credits? My science credits start in 2003. TY 0 Likes

It is very common for science & math credits to 'expire' after 5 years so you may have to retake these classes. It may end up as a positive if you make higher grades! Best of luck to you on pursuing your RN. 0 Likes
NICU Guy, BSN, RN Specializes in NICU. Has 5 years experience. Feb 21, 2014 Most schools have a limit on previous credits, usually 5 years. My school allows credits to be up to 30 years old if you are obtaining a second degree from the school.You will need to look on the program's website or call the school to find out about transferring credits. 0 Likes
