Hi thank you for replying. I am not a big fan of school so when I'm faced with the possibility of finishing school maybe at 24 I'm not too happy. I have been told that the program at nova provides interning too so that it's not as difficult to find a job. But I would like to move past nova one day not live here for a long time. Thank you

Hi thanks for replying. Unfortunately the pre-reqs are different for both the university and the nursing program provided at my cc. Certain classes that I take for the nursing program will not count for the pre-reqs that I need to transfer to the other nursing program for my bachelors. With the associates program I will easily be done within 3 years. If I decided to transfer I will have atleast another 6 years due to my current work situation..and that is a very long time. I will definitely look into what hospitals require

I spoke to an advisor today who gave me a lot of false and misleading information on transferring to George Mason, I then called George Mason and they gave me many different options as well. But I have not had the opportunity to speak directly to someone who has experience with an associates and a bachelors except on this forum. I am looking around to see what is necessary but I do not want to spend the rest of my life in this town either.

Best response I've gotten thank you

So do you think it depends the area?

Hi, I am currently a student at a community college in northern Virginia. My school has a two year nursing program to get an associates degree. I am very stuck on my next step because I have been told by many that unless I have a bachelors I will have an extremely difficult time finding a job. If I decide to transfer I will spend a few more years at my community college at the rate I'm going since I work as well. But with the associates I'll be done before I know it. I am very confused and I just need to know do hospitals really look for a bachelors??? Thanks!!
