Reciprocity among nursing schools?

Published

Hi!

I'm currently a student in MA and may be moving to NC in the near future.

The move wasn't part of our plan, (especially with young children!), but in this economy we need to move for my husband's job. I'm concerned because I will be halfway through school and am wondering if I would need to apply to schools in NC. I have a very high GPA and am a serious student!

Thanks!

Generally, core nursing classes do not transfer. Other clases may transfer, and you would have to talk to the college/university you are considering going to and submit transcripts.

agree with above. States vary on requirements for degrees and you might have to take some additional courses to meet the requirements. Also, classes may "transfer" but end up on the transcript as electives, which means you still have to take more classes. You really need to talk to an advisor in NC and send them a transcript so they can come up with a degree plan
