Thank you so much! That sounds exactly like what I am looking for, with the bonus of not being too far from home. I will definitely look into them and hopefully get in!

I want to complete the prerequisites just like everybody else has to. I just don't have the means to do it at my current university, so I am trying to find somewhere else where I can both complete these classes and then begin my nursing classes. Thank you for all the responses.

To clarify, I want to transfer to a university that offers prerequisite courses such as A&P, as my current university does not. When I say transfer without prerequisites, I mean transfer into a university with a BSN program that will allow me to complete the prerequisites there prior to beginning the program. I am stuck because many universities will not allow you to transfer without the prerequisites nor complete them there, so I am looking to find a college with a direct entry nursing program that will let me finish the prerequisite courses as if I am a freshman. I hope that clears things up!

Thank you so much everyone for all the information! I realize now that being a NICU nurse and not a nurse practitioner is what I've always envisioned myself doing. How did you get into working in the NICU after receiving your BSN?

Does anyone know of any BSN programs that are good but do not require prerequisite completion for transfer students? Most nursing programs seem to want prerequisites completion before transferring/applying to their programs. If anyone knows of any schools that admit transfers into the program and allow them to finish the prerequisites there, I would love the advice! I am finishing up my freshman year of college and was on the pre-med route but recently decided to switch to nursing. I have not taken anatomy, physiology, microbiology, psychology, human development, or most other prerequisite courses because I was on the pre-med track! I have completed a year of inorganic chemistry and calculus for biological sciences. I can try to complete some courses this summer, but it is impossible for me to complete them all over or summer or at my current university. I don't want to waste any time or money so I am trying to transfer into a good program as soon as possible :) I know University of San Francisco does not require completion of all prerequisites, but I know admission is competitive and I feel like if I don't have them done, there is no way they will accept me. Thanks for any advice! :)

Hello! I am a student interested in neonatal nursing and was wondering about the differences between a neonatal nurse and a neonatal nurse practitioner in terms of job duties.
