I have been a certified vet tech for over five years now, but am wanting to learn more about medicine and have decided to go back to school to be a nurse. I have an associates degree in veterinary technology, but my credits will only transfer to one college in my State, which only offers a BSN which I cannot apply to yet. I've read up on all of the pre-requisites for BSNs, and I think a competitive entrance program is the best step for me to take. My question is-- is it best to enter the college that accepts my transfer credits from the associates degree, as a candidate for a Biology degree, and then transfer out after I've been accepted to another school's BSN? (post pre-reqs, of course) Or is there a more desired route for getting into the field? I don't want to wait 5 years to get accepted into a community college program, and since I know I would like to delve further into the technical aspects of the field, it sounds like a BSN is a wise investment? Yet I am still in the first steps of researching this.... Any advice? I'd likely work as a CVT until I got my BSN...... Do I need an LPN or CNA? I have no clue! Thanks in advance.
