Thankkkk you!!!!!

Wow thank you so so so much for all of that information!!!! that was so helpful :) so basically i can take all my gen eds like psych and English and blah blah before getting into the nursing program? but i can only take NUS courses once ive been accepted to the nursing program itself? Do you know when the deadline to apply for the nursing program is? I'm going to start studying for TEAS as soon as possible this drexel BSN partnership feels like such a blessing! hopefully ill get in! :) congrats to everyone who is already on this path!

Thank you all, your responses have seriously helped me. I'm thinking about doing a program at delaware or montgomery community college in my area that both have a partnership with drexel to get a bsn online. Now i just need to figure out how to start haha!

Hi guys, I'm new to this website and to nursing as well. I'm coming back home to PA from an out of state college and am planning to hopefully start nursing prereqs at DCCC and get into the Nursing day program. I'm REALLY interested in the Drexel - DCCC as well. Ive been looking on DCCC's website about nursing and dont really understand how to start. The course sequence is listed as such: [h=3]First Semester (18 credits)[/h][TABLE=width: 601] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Course[/TH] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Credits[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]BIO 150 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ENG 100 - Composition I[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]PSY 140 - General Psychology[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]NUS 110 - Fundamentals of Nursing[/TD] [TD]8[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [h=3]Second Semester (20 credits)[/h][TABLE=width: 601] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Course[/TH] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Credits[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]BIO 151 - Human Anatomy and Physiology II[/TD] [TD]4[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ENG 112 - English Composition II: Writing About Literature[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]PSY 210 - Lifespan Human Development[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]NUS 111 - Nursing Concepts and Practice I[/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [h=3]Third Semester (16 credits)[/h][TABLE=width: 601] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Course[/TH] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Credits[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]PSY 220 - Abnormal Psychology[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]SOC 110 - Introduction to Sociology[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]NUS 210 - Nursing Concepts and Practice II[/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [h=3]Fourth Semester (16 credits)[/h][TABLE=width: 601] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Course[/TH] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Credits[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]NUS 211 - Nursing Concepts and Practice III[/TD] [TD]10[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Electives: Humanities or Social Science Elective 3 Credits Nursing Elective 3 Credits [TABLE=width: 601] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Program Electives[/TH] [TH=bgcolor: #1C519A]Credits[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]NUS 220 - Clinical Enhancement Skills[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]NUS 221 - Pharmacology for Health Care[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: alt, bgcolor: #EFEFEF] [TD]NUS 222 - Holistic Advanced Physical Assessment and Pathophysiology[/TD] [TD]3[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [h=3]Total Credits: 70[/h] Are these ALL prerequisite courses to the Nursing AAS? or are they actually the courses themselves. Also, there is no mention of the TEAS testing.... are they necessary to take? Why? Does anyone have any additional information about the Drexel/DCCC program? Thank you I appreciate any information that you guys can offer! Its been so helpful just reading the comments on this thread itself

Anyone whos graduated with RN from DCCC : have you found it hard to get a job without a BSN? I'm wondering whether or not I should go try to transfer to a 4 year to do BSN or if I should just do DC3 or MC3's RN programs and then try to do a bridge program at a 4 year....

Hi eveyrone! I'm a student from out of state going back home and am about to start off at a community college. My initial major was Nutrition as I am EXTREMLEY passionate about hollistic and preventative medicine. I have a fairly low gpa here though and so I'm starting off at a community college. I've decided that if I go transfer into a 4 year college for Nutrition I will then continue on to an ABSN program(or atleast apply to). Im very very passionate about taking care of people and really think that nursing is a better path for me as I want more patient interaction than is available as a dietician. SO.... I'm wondering whether or not I should just go into a four year degree or first get my associates in nursing at a community college... I"m not sure what to do. I know that I may want to be a nurse practitioner in the future (especially in oncology) but I could always continue to a RN - BSN program couldnt I? I'm trying to cut down years in school and money spent, I'm just wondering if it would be more beneficial to just go straight for BSN instead of starting at ADN. Ive heard from many nurses that you cant get hired anymore if you just have an associates in nursing. I'd really like the experience of doing ADN and working while getting my BSN. But im still undecided ... any advice??? BTW I'm located in Philli area in outlying towns (bryn mawr/villanova/kingofprussia area) also. I know that I will be able to complete any science related courses with flying colors because my science gpa is high and all of my required silly courses like politics and history are the ones that have brought my gpa down
