Well I guess that's the other main reason I'm confused is that I really don't know what's required for my ASN. My adviser made it seem like I only needed the 3 pre reqs but I think the associate of arts and the nursing program are 2 separate things? I think I'm going to just set up an appointment with the university I plan on going to and figuring out what they recommend.

I am currently going to a community college and I am planning on doing their nursing program and getting my associates. However, I am planning on transferring and getting my BSN while I work as an RN. I only need three prereqs to get into nursing school (A&P 1 and 2 and Micro) but I'm really confused as to what other classes I should be taking. I talked to an adviser and she really confused me more. I have an English class, a few government classes and a few other classes that a basic associate of arts has (which is what my adviser said I would be getting but I'm doing nursing?) Am I supposed to take all of the classes needed according to the requirements for the BSN program I plan on applying for? Or do I only need to take the 3 Pre reqs and then apply to the associates program and take them when I'm working on the bachelors? I'm not sure if this makes sense, but I'm really lost. Any help would be very appreciated!

I have a question!! I'm currently in TCC but I'm working full time so I'm taking my classes slowly. I'm so confused because my advisor didn't understand my questions, and I'm a first time college goer in my family. I know I need the 3 pre reqs that TCC requires, but what do you guys do about all of the other classes like English, math, histor etc?? Did you guys already take those? Do you take them while in nursing school? Do you need them at all? I'm so confused and my advisor didn't answer any questions for me.

I know you guys have just started but how do you feel about the nursing program so far? It has a lot of bad reviews so I don't know if I should start looking at other programs

It's 1302 which I think I realized isn't an actually requirement haha or is it? Regardless I just have an insane teacher and it's taking up all of my time and I don't want my A&P grade to suffer.

I'm currently only in my second semester at TCC but I'm wanting to drop an English class because it's just insane and I want to focus more on my A&P class. I just wanted to know if the TCC program would look down on me for having a W on my transcript.

So I'm going into my second semester getting my prerequisites for nursing, and my advisor told me anatomy & physiology is the science class I should take. The A&P class does not have any pre reqs, however after signing up for the class the teachers syllabus says she thinks you should have at least a college bio or Chem class under your belt first and that it's a 2nd college year level class. Am I totally set up for failure?? I'm pretty organized and good at studying but from anyone who's gone through this class, is it possible to still get a good grade with no knowledge of bio?? Thank you for any help.

Thank you for your answer I really appropriate it! I guess my main issue though is the fact that first becoming an RN through my associates degree and nursing program at my community college allows me to get a job and support myself because my living situation is not currently going to work forever. Having to go two years of only prereqs and then two years obtaining the bachelors is four years without having a real job that pays more than $10 an hour so it won't allow me to have a place to live. Even in a situation like mine is this really a bad plan? Thank you for your insight.

Thank you very much! Another question is that through my ADN I'm planning on working pretty much full time, is that a logical plan or do you think in your experience the program requires too much time for a full time job.

I am 18 years old, and going into my second semester at a community college. I am very lost about how to go about my next steps due to the fact that no one I know is in the nursing field. I've read so many articles but I'm still somewhat lost. My plan as of right now, is to get my associates of nursing at this community college, which would allow me to work as an RN, which is the fastest and most financially logical plan for the situation I'm in. However, would I be able to get my BSN at a university right afterwards and just keep going from my ASN? If I went to a university straight away and entered into a bachelors degree, I would have to take out 100% in loans which isn't feasible. So my question is, does that plan work and is it possible to become an RN and continue to work while furthering my education? Do employers and BSN programs look down on this? Im assuming certain programs would rather choose candidates that took classes at their school first. Any insight would be very greatly appretiated. Thank you!
