Transferring nursing credits

Published

Has anyone out there ever switched schools in the middle of their program? My husband was just offered a promotion and we may be moving about 2 hours away. The catch is we will not know for sure until January of 2012. I could continue thru the Fall (2011) and complete my first year of the RN program, but not sure how that would work.... I have attempted to research schools in the area and have not had much luck in getting information. My other option is to transfer to the LPN program and graduate in December. In this scenario, at least I could sit for the PN-NCLEX.

Thoughts?? Anyone "benn there, done that"?

I know a lot of schools will not allow you to transfer credits. You will have to apply to their program and take their classes in their order. But if you check kinda deeply into the desired programs in the new area then they may say whether they accept transfer credits or not. Or you could just call the school.

None of my nursing courses transferred. I had to start over. I think that policy is typical.

I would do the LPN and then apply for your LPN to RN at one of the local schools
