Eventually

Thank you for all the input and advice! I really appreciate it and see that I have some more research to do. :)

The cut off might be 64, not 60, I'm not 100% sure since I do not have the info right in front of me at the moment. I would love to be able to transfer 100 credits! I am certain I want to be a nurse, I have worked in the medical field for many years. I think I know what I am getting myself into. Good luck to you too...I can not imagine working on 4 degrees!

All the BSN programs I have looked at state they only take a certain number of CC credits. Another concern I have is that most hospitals have cut new grad programs and/or they are only looking at BSN or above. I work in a hospital right now (non clinical, support staff) and have been able to cover my pre-reqs myself and with tuition reimbursement from work, no debt!

I would love some advice from people of all educational & professional backgrounds! I got my first job in the medical field at 19 and instantly fell in love. I knew I wanted to become a nurse. Well, life happened, so it has taken a while, but I finally was able to return to school just before turning 30 to pursue this dream. I have been working on my pre-requisites so I can apply to a local CC ADN program. I just met with my Nursing advisor to have a formal transcript evaluation and learned I have over 90 credits (I previously attended college but no degree). By the time I finish my ADN program I will have over 120 credits. This got me to thinking...should I try to complete my Bachelor's degree in something such as Sociology and then apply to Accelerated BSN or Entry Level Master's programs? I do not want to get my ADN and lose all those credits since you can only transfer 60 CC credits. I could have a second Bachelor's, or even a Master's in the same amount of time as it will take me to get my ADN. What do you think??? Thank you! :)
