thanks for the encouragement everyone! I have an info session at my local community college this wednesday so I hope all goes well.

that's so awesome! i wish you the best of luck in your process at NIU. I'm actually at loyola university right now. The reason why it's so difficult for students to transfer into the program this semester is because they took so many freshman. I have completed biology, chemistry, and i'm in my first semester of organic chemisty so i'm working my hardest to get the best of grades this semester, and take microbiology and anatomy 1 in the spring, and perhaps switch into loyola's program. If not then i'll look into other schools.

I'm a sophomore at a university with a good nursing school, however, after attending information sessions about transferring to this program, i just don't know what to do Basically, what I was told was to look into other schools and different programs because there had been a huge intake of freshman into the nursing program. After doing a lot of research, I've looked at UIC, North Park, Elmhurst, (virtually any bsn program within the illinois area, but I would have to wait until much later or actually transfer into these schools with no guarantee that I would get into their program (which is why i'm thinking of leaving my current school). I feel as though my best option right now is to do an ADN program, then do a bridge program right after i graduate the adn program. Is this okay? Is it common in nursing for students to do this? I feel that this would be the best choice for me to save time and money. Any thoughts/experiences/pros/cons/ would be so appreciated!!!
