• I know my classes through Brown Mackie may not transfer to most colleges so I’m looking for alternatives for those classes.

• What AA or AS degree can I complete with the classes I have already taken?

• I’m not sure if I want to go back to nursing school at this point. However, if I do go back, I want to get a BSN so the classes I continue to take will fit into that degree as well.

• My plan was to get a BA degree in psychology and then do the BA-BSN. Now I’m just ready to get a degree because I’m ready to walk down the aisle again! I really just want to take as many gen ed courses I can before I actually apply to a nursing program.

• I should be alright with taking classes through straighterline. I plan to take cultural anthropology, religion, history, and western civilization courses.

• I have never taken clep or dsst exams. I think I will be most comfortable with dsst tests.

• I will be comfortable taking psych and gerontology courses through Uexcel.

• I plan to take all my science course through NMJC.

• NMJC will accept some of Brown Mackie’s credits so I may try to complete an AA or AS with them while fulfilling my courses for nursing.

• I am still open to getting a BA in psych if I take it through TESC. I just don't want to take anymore psych classes.

I was going to try for a BA in health science from Excelsior being as through they will give me 26 credits for my LPN license. I completed the questionaire and the fee was suppose to be waived but there where error messages. I finally talked to someone and they fixed the problem. So... when I filled out the form I got a confirmation page. I sent my transcripts to them and then they tell me they don't even have a application for me. I know that it went through but can't find the information. They are just a headache starting out and I just don't want to deal with them. I spoke to someone and they said they can see where I called and there was a problems but now they don't have my application. I'm not giving then $80 now!

Thanks for all your help!
