Yea. I'll make sure to call RCC and CSULB and see what the deal is. Thank you. You're insight was much appreciated.

This is some great information. Thank you. I have a question though. You mentioned that csulb established a partnership with long beach community college. But what if i go to RCC? Would that not allow me to transfer to csulb after I get my ADN program?

Well I think it does differ depending upon the major you're going for. Some majors are better pursued at the university level right away, some are not. But going into a university blind not knowing what you want to do is quite a stupid move. With nursing, it's like you said, everyone usually ends up in the same place. It's a question of how much debt you're willing to acquire that should motivate your decisions

Yea, I looked down on cc at first, but I guess it really works well when you're doing nursing. And with regards to cc, how do you think I should go about it. Should I get my ADN there and then transfer into an ADN-BSN program? Or should I simply take my pre reqs at cc and then transfer into the direct entry BSN program?

Also, if anyone can help me out, I'm trying to figure out what exactly is the best way to go about the cc route. Should I get into the nursing program at the cc, get my ADN, and from there get into an ADN-BSN program? Or is it best to simply do my pre-reqs at the cc level, and then transfer into a BSN program? My ultimate goal is to get my masters, if that matters.

When you say "rely on the direct source", what does that mean exactly? Do you mean the schools that I could transfer into after my pre-reqs are done?

With regards to graduate school, will going to cc first and then transferring for my BSN have any effect on getting accepted into a graduate school in the future?

Thank you, that's the same thing that my calc teacher has been telling me. It has taken some effort, but I think that I've convinced my parents to let me go. They are indeed contributing to my education financially, but it's more than that. It's more about respect rather than needing them to pay off my school expenses.

Okay, so here's the deal. I'm about to graduate highschool, and I've been accepted to csulb for pre nursing and I'm awaiting and admission decision from uci. The problem is that my parents are not allowing me to go to either one of them and would prefer that I go to RCC first and transfer after I've done my pre-reqs. My question is: when I'm done with my pre-reqs at RCC, where are my credits transferable to? Can I transfer from RCC to UCI or CSULB?

This was actually a great help in clearing things up for me. I am very much grateful. I'll take note of your advice on taking things a step at a time. I guess I am getting a little too ahead of myself.

I guess I do sound misinformed, but I did at least know that, at schools like csulb and csuf, you have to do well in your pre-nursing courses and then reapply for the actual nursing program. I've been told at least that much. And I see your point with UCI. It's making me rethink attending one of the csu's and instead trying to get into UCI. But I'll have to wait and see if I get accepted. I have some confidence in my application; hopefully, things will work out. Thanks

Oh. Sorry, I just don't know much about the college system(obviously) as I am the first of my family to be attending a university right out of high school. I thought that there might've been other routes available to get a masters degree other than graduate school such as online programs and such.

This was of much help. Thank you

Thank you. Lastly, if you don't mind, can you give me maybe a short list of graduate schools for nursing in California that are known to have great programs?

I didn't ask what graduate school was? Lmao
