thanks I really want to know if when I finish i will be able to apply to a bachelors program

Well I have very little living expenses and and the 40k figure is actually a little less when you factor in financial aid and grants and personal money I will put in. So with that said we are back to my original conundrum.

Why not? whats your reasoning ?

You see thats exactly what I was afraid of, but if you dont mind me asking did you finish the AS and THEN try to transfer or did you try to transfer to another nursing program before finishing the program you were currently on? Because i am pretty sure I would see the 1 year program all the way through, however, I worry that when I want to apply for a BSN in another institution my entire degree will not be recognized ....

thanks guys. Will do. I would apply to the community college here in Miami its much cheaper i thinks its only like 6k a year for a 2 year program but the way i see it is the school cost 40k, nurses here in south Florida make 50-55k starting pay if i get accepted and finish in a year I can pay off my debt the first year of working as an RN already while in the 2 year program id still be in school. not only would I have my debt paid off already but id have a 1 year head start experience wise on the people doing it in the traditional 2 yr time frame.

Yea there are 2 and they are both a lot cheaper but its harder to get in and its 2 years for the AS vs just one with concorde, so it definetly has its advatages but I just dont know if when I go to apply for a BSN program my AS will be recognized

Help please, I live in south Florida and might be going into the AS program at Concorde Career Institute, they have guaranteed me that they are accredited, but I would like a secondary source for verification. Also I would like to continue on with a bachelors degree after I am finished at Concorde, however, I would like to know if the credits I obtain will be tranferable to another institution? Please help I dont want to make a $40,000 dollar mistake. Thanks in advance Sincerely, Chris
