2 Hrs and A LOT of leg work later. . . I called the school I want to go to back home, I needed to get ahold of the dept. heads for all of the classes that I wanted to take, I found pre semester classes and related courses that I could take now while I'm still not in the program. No one answered the phone and finally I had to settle with e-mailing two of the dept. heads. The receptionist had no information for the reading, psycology, or science dept. heads only the math and english. Soooooo now just waiting for a response as to what I need to do to ensure that my credits will transfer. Blahh

Thats good advice, while I for sure can't join a rn program for at least 2 years I could possibly finish my assoc in science keeping in mind the rn pre req from the univeristy I want to attend. sounds good im actually going to call them right now with the classes I can take at the community college im at and see whats what with transfering and all that kinda stuff. shooting for finishing associates in science with all nursing pres completed. I do plan on going farther than bsn im not the type to stop chasing, kinda all or nothing really but thanks everyone for the awesome advice. Oh and peasandcarrots, im currently in jacksonville nc stationed at camp lejeune, haven't had the pleasure to serve the marines overseas yet but I can guarentee I will within the next couple years, thanks for the words and advice.

thanks alot I looked on their site somewhat but didn't see this. Your right I'm gonna need to tailor my future schedual to their years one and two in order transfer, also I don't know the extent of the classes my cc offers in regards to transfering to UD. Hence my dilemma and question, I'm not going to take classes not required by UD Nursing, but I also don't want to not do anything till I'm 23 thanks for the info I'll look into it.

Thank you both saysfaa, and mama I appreciate the kind words and advice. So what your getting at though saysfaa, is that I probably need to call UD and ask which specific classes should I be taking if I wished to transfer into their RN program without actually being in one currently. Also find out if they take credits from the school I'm going to now, and tailor my future schedual accordingly.

So to be more clear and try to clarify what your saying shaggy; I am currenty locked into working 50+ hrs a week and I'm desperate to move in the direction I want to go once I get out in 2.5 yrs so I started at a local community college 3 classes per semester in the associates in science field. My benefits when I get out will allow me to go to college for 4 yrs at the most expensive public school in my state while paying me for housing. So what your saying is to call the univeristy I wish to attend once I get out and see exactly what pre-req I need to take and possibly get a course list and just start crossing those off as I do them?

I am a corpsman of 2.5 years, joined the usn at 18 summer after highschool. I have just started my first semester of cc, 9 credits a semester plan to go summers and working 50+ hours a week. I am in the associates of science bracket since I don't have the time or credentials to go to a university. I want to become a nurse but I'm unsure of how to get there. I have approx. 2.5 years left in the military, afterwards I will get 4 years at the most expensive university from my home state paid for using the post 911 g.i. bill. I want to get the associates done before I get out because that is also paid for. However, looking at the UD page they offer the traditional program intended for transfers, highschool students, and so on but the course plan has freshman and sophmore year layed out as Freshman Experience: Introduction to the profession and clinical skills with essential science and liberal arts courses. Sophomore Experience : Development of clinical skills and decision making in nursing through simulation and laboratory experiences. So what im unsure about is am I going to be able to transfer into this half way through and be able to do well without the first two years or am I not going to be able to transfer in at all because I'm not transfering from an RN program. So main question should I continue with the associates in science, and will I be able to apply it somewhere without getting my bach and having to do a 17 month bsn, or should I just stop delay everything for another 2.5 yrs and just go straight into an RN program at 23yo?
