hello everyone,

I have a question for those who are in nursing or going to nursing. If i have 60+credits including the prerequisites for nursing and I transfer. will i be starting clinicals right away which gives me junior status. ?

The best way to find out would be to talk to the school as each individual school sets their own requirements for standing and what credits they accept. I transferred in as a Sophomore at mine while another school only gave me Freshman standing due to the way the curriculum was laid out and which of my credits transferred.

Do you know how many years clinicals take?

Regardless of how many credits you have, you're still an entry-level nursing student. You'll need to ask the admissions coordinator if you're considered a freshman or sophomore when you transfer in.

I am a Senior in Nursing. My clinicals started during Sophomore year for a total of 3 years. Some schools in the area start later or earlier. One of the ADN programs I had looked at started them their very first semester for a total of 2 years. Some of the other BSN programs don't start until Junior year.

Our ADN program started clinicals week 4. You aren't bumped up in the program as far as I know for the number of pre req credits you have. You have to start and finish in the order of the program.

It depends on the school and nursing program. When I transferred, I was considered a junior because I had over 60 credits; however, I couldn't begin the clinical program yet because I still had outstanding pre-requisites and because the nursing program was brand new and wouldn't actually begin its first cohort until the following year. I began the actual nursing program in Fall 2013 and clinical didn't start for me until 8 weeks into the semester.
