<p>My D is a sophomore in Keene State in NH and majoring in health science. She's been taking many of the courses a nursing student would and she's hoping to transfer into the nursing program at Keene, however transferring in to many nursing programs is very difficult. Does anyone have a similar situation or another nursing program my D should be considering? Any suggestions or recommendation?</p>
<p>There is at least one large BSN nursing program that is specifically designed for 3rd year transfers - at Thomas Jefferson University in Center City Philadelphia. It is part of the Jefferson Health System, which controls multiple hospitals.</p>
<p>You might also look at some other hospital-based programs that now offer BSNs, such as the Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences, which is part of the Lancaster Hospital (PA.) Health System.</p>
<p>It is true that some competitive nursing direct entry programs do not accept transfers, because most of their students stay all 4 years and fill up the capacity. You might find that some less competitive programs do have space for transfers, if they have a higher rate of students leaving the program. </p>
<p>How far does your D want to travel - stay within New England? Check the websites to see if transfers are accepted for nursing at UNH, UVM, UMaine, UMass - Amherst, Northeastern, Simmons, U Mass-Dartmouth, UMass - Lowell, UConn, Salve, Quinnipiac, Fairfield & Sacred Heart.</p>
