Transfer from community college prior to Pre-Requisites Completion?

Published

I'm a current student with a full semester of prerequisites left before I begin applying to Nursing programs. Recently I got accepted to the school I want to get my BSN from, BUT I must complete this upcoming semester prior to applying to the actual Nursing school. Should I save my money and stay at the community college level for this last semester, or should I transfer now and hope that already attending the school gives me a one up on my application?

Contact the school of nursing that you want to go to and see if they give any preference to prerequisites taken at their school, some schools do. If not I would save money at the community college. Also, I would check how far from an associate of science you are as these transfer to meet your general education requirements at the university.

Thank you for responding Matthew! I am very close to the AS in Pre-Medical Health Sciences, so that's definitely something I will look into. I've already earned a certificate of completion for general education, I wonder if that will do the same thing... hmm

I contacted the College of Nursing and I'm waiting to hear back now. Thanks again for the feedback. I'm hoping to save some $ and just go next semester.

Cheers
