Quick background- I am an LPN(11 years )and I attempting to go back to school for my Rn which has been very difficult. I have all of my pre req's needed for an ADN program in my state but was waitlisted this year. I have been researching different programs in states around me and I just can't seem to catch a break. I have been out of high school for 21 years now and have 47 college credits. I have now been looking into getting a bachelor's degree in anything and applying to programs for nursing as a second degree. Can anyone help me to determine the fastest and cheapest way to get a bachelor's degree. Thank you
My current credits are from a university and CC
Eng 101-3 cr
Math Analy 1-3 cr
Effective speaking- 3 cr
Eng 102- 3 cr
Princ of sociology- 3 cr
Gen Psych- 3 cr
Child psych- 3 cr
Concepts of chemistry- 4 cr
Elem spanish- 3 cr
Microbiology- 4 cr
Lifespan devel- 3 cr
Biology- 4 cr
A&P 1- 4 cr
A&P 2-4 cr
The 2nd degree nursing programs that I am looking into require genetics and statistics as pre requisites so I know I need those two classes and also need to retake micro- no lab needed
Most on this site are very well versed in alternative credit. It does not sound like the school you are planning to attend is one of the "Big 3" (TESU, COSC, Excelsior). You need to email your advisor at whatever school you are planning to attend and find out if they accept alternative credit, how strict they are with alternative credit, etc. Many school's websites state that they accept ACE credit, but do not accept hardly any in reality. Your best bet is looking up equivalencies for clep and dsst exams at your school and find out if any would apply to the program that you are trying to do.
Thank you. I would like to attend one of the "big 3" first to obtain a bachelor's degree and then attend a different school for a BSN
