Transferring into a BSN

Published

Hey guys,

so im currently a 3rd year Microbiology student and I want to get into nursing. My school doesn't have nursing so I'm looking to transfer.

im applying to volunteer at a local hospital and doing whatever I can to stack my odds for applications.

Should I try to transfer into a school with a BSN and then apply for their program?

Or should I take community college courses for the next year boosting my GPA and getting my prereqs out of the way?

also, if you guys have any advice as far as the best way for me to go from where I am (undergrad 3rd year) to a BSN program that would be extremely helpful!

Thanks!

You're in your 3rd year, so finish your BS. Also complete all the nursing prereq's. Then apply for an ABSN or direct entry master's program. An ABSN can be as short as 1 year. Good luck.

ABSN's seem really hard to get into and even harder to finish. And I am not sure I want to finish my major if it's in something I don't like. Plus my undergrad is extremely expensive and I want to boost my GPA as soon as I can. I appreciate the input, I'm just really confused about how to go about this.

My undergrad at the current university I'm attending is expensive. I'm on a 5 year plan. Would dropping out and taking CC classes be a bad idea?
