Student in need of information !!!!

Hello, I am currently taking classes in a community college in New York City and on my way to graduating by the end of the winter semesters with an Associates in liberal arts. I'm very interested in the nursing field and I'm in the process of taking some nursing class in my college to try and get a head start on things. Is it possible for me to get accepted into a nursing program to become an RN without a ASN?

    Yes, you can get into nursing school without already having an associates degree. To find out what programs are available, check with your state BON- they should have a list of approved programs somewhere on their website. The other resources for finding accredited programs are ACEN and CCNE.

    However, what do you mean by saying that you are taking nursing classes at your current college? Do you mean prerequisites such as anatomy and physiology or actual nursing classes? If it's actual nursing classes, it is very unlikely that they will transfer to another school. The BON sets the content that must be covered in a nursing program, but the program is free to arrange it as they see fit. If it truly is nursing classes, then you should simply stay with the program at your current school.

    Are you asking if there's some way to take the boards without a degree? I don't really understand your question.
