@203bravo Are second degree students considered a transfer student when doing a traditional BSN?

I currently hold a Bachelor degree in another field. I have taken most pre-requisites for nursing school & was wondering if ABSN & ADN programs were the only option for "second degree students"? Ive noticed that most traditional BSN programs mention first year students from high school or transfer students. Could a second degree student be considered a transfer student?

I was having trouble yesterday but it is back up & running today!

Wow that was fast! Congrats! Did they send a email or a letter?

Thank you for the information! How long will it take you to obtain your associates?

Thank you for the information! For the most part, my completed pre-req's are A's except for chemistry. Because the gpa is so high, do you recommend going to a community college first to become a RN & then try to apply to other schools once completed? I'm aware that community colleges also have high expectations as well.

I am a senior and I have decided to do pre-nursing. I have completed almost all of the pre-req's except for microbiology in which I will be completing in the summer. Once I graduate I plan to retake the chemistry sequence (received straight C's) and also take some extra courses to boost my GPA. My current GPA is a 2.5 and it has been a struggle when it comes to raising it. I was wondering in my situation what may be the best route when it comes to choosing a school since most schools prefer a minimum 3.0 in all coursework. I know that there are many options but I really want to obtain my MSN in nursing to hopefully become a nurse practitioner. Any advice when it comes to applying to schools, raising my gpa etc? Thank you all in advance!
