I FINALLY found an accredited college to enroll in (Thanks to some allnurses members) Unfortunately, I applied, submitted HS & College transcripts, and that non refundable fee and was told that I missed the Fall '15 deadline. I was told that in Sep '15 to take their COMPASS test and prerequisites and when all is finalized I will be looking at late Fall '16. What I want to know is; there is a regionally accredited college to where I can take their placement tests anytime as well as prerequisites for ADN Nursing. Their deadline is in Aug 27th at the other college. Will my prerequisites with that college I want to take them at have to match the college's prerequisites at the one that I missed, even though the concept of the courses are the same? The only thing different is the course code number but they are all important requisites to get into for Nursing RN. EX: The college in which I missed the deadline's Nursing pre'reqs are; BIOL 2113 possibly equivalent to my college which their prereqs' ~BI276 Anatomy and Physiology (Biology) I...So on and so forth. OR, do I have to go with the exact prerequisites the college in which I missed the deadline has for me to get in?

Hi Altra, Yeah it seems I am in the wrong State unfortunately because I cant find a accredited Nursing program that would start the students off with just that ADN for Nursing. Everything else seems to be for BSN (RN's and LPN's only) for the Bachelors Nursing Degree. As if Associates no longer exist. IJS

College School of Nursing told me this. Chamberlain College of Nursing informed this similarity to me, Kaplan University said it as well, University of Phoenix for Nursing, said the same thing. They have BSN (RN~BSN) only. I cant be too much unclear because I called them on a 3wy conversation and they too said the same thing to a friend of mine. None of this makes sense, why would they tell me that I need to be a licensed RN or a LPN in order to get the ADN. ADN should come first?...So at least I thought. I contacted the colleges that I mentioned because I am residing in a city that is 2hr drive to go to a community and a technical campus in which isn't worth the drive and unfortunately they don't provide an online for Associates in Nursing, which sucks.

Hi, I am new to this site. I am a CNA in the State of GA. I am wanting to upgrade my career. I've been thinking of taking up RN. In order for me to do so, I need to obtain my Associates Degree before taking the NCLEX exam. Right? Unfortunately, I've been getting nothing but run-a-round by college administrators telling me that in order for me to obtain an associates degree, I have to become an RN or LPN first. To get my ADN. But when I look into on campus or online, it seems to me as if BS Nursing is what is now available. That also comes with the requirements in which brings me back to square one with myself being either an LPN or RN first. Can someone out there shed a little light for me with this long, dark journey I am struggling to reach? I need to know how and what to do to get my 'first time' Nursing License to get to higher up (RN). If there is also an Online accredited college, one has been to and graduated from, please let me know the name of it? Thank you for taking time out to read my posting.
