What are my options if...

[whyohwhy]

Hello all,

thank you for reading in advance. My situation is this: I completed every aspect of my direct entry NP program, except the last 250 clinical P/F hours. Thus, I did not graduate and become an NP.

My program is allowing me to re-take this clinical course and the 250 hours. However, I am concerned that, for various reasons, some of which feel like they are out of my control, I may not pass again and be dismissed from school/not allowed to complete the program.

If that is the case, what would be my options to become an NP?

1) Because I did direct entry, I do not have a bachelors degree in nursing

2) However, I have satisfied every advanced nursing credit with a GPA of 3.6. It is only 250 clinical hours that could hold me back.

There must be some way to transfer all my credits to some other program without having a bachelors, I just don't know how or what that may be. Any advice or recommendations if the worst case scenario happens would be appreciated. I always like having a back up plan!

Thanks!

Call other schools and see what they're willing to do and if they'll take any credits? They may not be willing to do anything but you won't know unless you ask.
