Quota, The programs I am looking into require cell bio, chem, A&P, and micro. So I would have to take cell and chem again if they deem that they are too old. I really don't want to do that. Plus the institutions I'm looking at taking my micro and A&P only allow you to take one science course a quarter. Tack on cell and chem and I'm looking at another year before I can even APPLY to nursing school. It's a bit of a time crunch for me because my wife and I kind of relied on my income from the union. I feel like I should have done this years ago.

Thanks for the responses guys. I guess I will have to "shop around" for programs. I live just outside of Seattle and all the programs I have looked into out here say all your science courses must be no more than 5 years old. I still have to take micro and anatomy and physiology as it wasn't a requirement for my degree so those will be recent. I just really don't want to spend the time and money on a bunch of courses I've already taken.

Hello all! Recent member to this site and I have a couple of questions for everyone. I recently decided that what I've done for the last 7 years (commercial carpenter) is not for me. I have a bachelors in biology that I earned roughly 8 years ago. I have been reading that most programs do not accept science credits over 5 years old, and then I read some responses to posts on here that claim their program accepted credits that were over 20 years old. For those that were in or are in programs that accepted older transfer credits, where are they? I really don't want to repeat courses I have already taken if at all possible. Thanks for the input!

Could you tell me which program you enrolled in? I am in a similar situation. The majority of my science courses are 8-10 years old.
