UCLA Nursing Program

<p>Okay so I am currently a senior in high school and I have been accepted into UCLA as undeclared. But i've decided that i want to go into nursing to become a pediatric nurse practioner. The only problem is that to apply to the nursing program it says that i was supposed to apply when i orginally applied to the university as a whole. But it also says something about having a minimum amount of credits. I really do not understand how all of this works. I was wondering if someone could please explain it to me and also i was wondering if i could do two years of my general ed then apply to the nursing program my junior year? My college advisor said that i could apply as a junior but i would have to start over again as a freshman? But that doesn't make any sense to me. Im just really confused. HELP PLEASE :(</p>

<p>As far as I know, the nursing accepts approximately 10 transfer students into their program per year.
Furthermore, according the UCLA nursing website it states that
Transfer Applicants</p>

<p>Transfer applicants must have completed all IGETC requirements or all general education requirements at the school where currently or previously enrolled and the equivalent of all of the non-nursing preparation for the major courses as follows: Chemistry 14A, B, C or Chemistry 20A, B & 30A; Communications 1 or 10<em>; Life Sciences 2 & 3; Math 3A or 31A</em>; Microbiology<em>; Physiological Science 3 & 13; and Psychology 10</em>. *May be completed at UCLA.</p>

<p>So I suppose if you complete all these prereqs, you should be fine. Double check with an admissions counselor to be sure!</p>
