Student In CUNY school need advice...

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hello my fellow pre-nursing, nursing students and nurses lol

So I need some advice! I just started going back to school last semester, part time at BMCC in Manhattan, 2 year college to get my associates in nursing.

I'm currently attending as a part-time student. I have a few questions because I have been asking my advisers and other students but everyone gives me completely different answers and advice so I figured who is best to ask than nursing students and nurses?!

My overall end goal is to be a neo-natal nurse or midwife nurse & also a birth photographer.

I know I have a long way to go but I'm 25 and I do not want to keep wasting any more time or do I want to take unnecessary classes.

I was thinking of doing my two year and than working and getting experience as a nurse and than keep going to school to get my bsn.

What I am worried about is that when I go back to get my bsn, at a different school of-course, my credits won't transfer?

Do the pre-requisites matter once you get your associates and you're going for bsn?

My friend advised me to go to an accelerated nursing program..

does anyone recommend that?

Is anyone else currently going to BMCC or went to their nursing program? I hear its very competitive to get in... I'm wondering why this is since its a community college?

I am considering transferring to another cuny school but I am not sure it's the wisest choice...

I would really really appreciate any constructive opinions or advice...

THANK YOU

Hi there! I am a CUNY alumnus!

I am back to school to get my BSN. Onto your questions, if you do not have any bachelor's, you cannot do accelerated BSN. Once you get your associate's, you can do RN-BSN right away. I do not think you will need any more pre-reqs for BSN once you complete your associates in nursing. Finally, the program at BMCC is competitive, as any other nursing program at CUNY schools: it is cheap and, for the most part, quality programs.

Thank you for your reply, I didn't know that!

I'll keep doing my research, but I think I might stick to the two year and than do the rn-bsn
