I’m going to a community college in the fall but plan on just staying there for a year and have all my classes transfer over to ECU… so I went on the ECU transfer equivalency and it said that if your taking nursing classes you only get granted credit with a AAS degree and I want to be a pediatric nurse so could I still do a year with taking nursing classes or I would have to do two year then transfer or take classes similar to pediatric?? oh yea I’m also just trying to get my bachelors degree
Make sure that you are looking at a BSN program instead of an RN-to-BSN program. Usually, it is the latter that requires an Associates degree before entry. I am quite sure that you can start in on your Nursing prerequisites, as well as the general distribution requirements for a Bachelors degree, at a community college.
These days, competition to get into Nursing programs can be fierce. Make sure that you have all the requirements that they need from transfer-in students, including test results.
