Answer 2

Some of your credits will apply toward the nursing degree, depending on your completed major. However, if your degree was not within a health related area, I would think there are a number of prerequisite or co-requisite courses you will have to complete. Read the following. I had posted this to a number of individuals asking about which courses were needed for nursing. It should help you in determining courses you will still need to complete. The other issue is whether you will be applying for an associates or bachelors in nursing.

First, the associate's in nursing is typically an associate's of science (AS). There are some community colleges that do offer an AS in nursing. Courses included - in general - are as follows. * Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II * Microbiology * Chemistry (inorganic and organic and biochemistry) * English Composition I and II * General Psychology * Principles of Sociology * Humanities Electives The above are general education requirements. The professional phase courses are: * Nursing I * Nursing II * Nursing III * Nursing IV Each college may have its own curriculum layout. In addition, nursing programs today are somewhat competitive. You should contact the community college and request information on their admissions requirements. Start, with your home county community college. If they do not offer the program, then check with the surrounding counties.

In addition, the cost of a nursing program is expensive compared to other associate degree programs. It is not the tuition as such, but the clinical fees that brings the cost up. Make sure you have your finances in order, and make sure you apply for financial aid assistance if needed.

Lastly, many individuals are going into nursing programs today. In comparison, only a few graduate because of the intensity of the clinical phase. The reason is that they take too much of a credit load. For example, one community college I know of combines Nursing I with Human Anatomy and Physiology II in the same semester. This is too much for most students. I would strongly recommend you complete all of your critical science courses first, and as much of the other general education courses as possible before going on to your professional phase nursing coursework. When you start the nursing courses, you want to concentrate on nursing, and just nursing. This will give you a better chance of completing the program in good form.

Because you already have bachelors, one option that is the shortest in terms of time, energy and expense, is an associates of science in nursing. Some credits will transfer toward your degree however if you have not completed the appropriate prerequisites particular to nursing, it will take approximately three years. If you have, it will still take about two years because of the sequential nature of the professional phase nursing courses. In other words, typically for most nursing curriculum's you will have to complete the following (if you have not already done so). * Human anatomy and physiology I * Human anatomy and physiology II * Microbiology * Chemistry (inorganic, organic and biochemistry) * English composition * General psychology * Child psychology * Sociology * Humanities electives In addition there is pharmacology. Some schools include this within the first professional phase nursing course, while others as a stand alone course.

I understand you have completed at least some of the above within your bachelors degree. What you do not have, you will have to complete. I would strongly recommend you complete all of the above before attempting to enter the professional phase courses because of the intensity of the program. Some schools will combine some of the above with nursing courses, which for many students proves too much and they wind up either dropping out or failing out.

After the above is completed, it will still take approximately two years to complete the rest of the program with each nursing course taking one semester to complete as follows. * Nursing I (first semester) * Nursing II (second semester) * Nursing III (third semester) * Nursing IV (fourth semester) The above is just a general overview of how most nursing programs are designed. Others may vary slightly. Thus, as you can see, your heart must really be into this. All of this is possible for you; however you will have to be 100% committed. As previously mentioned, the process will vary slightly from school to school, but explore the accelerated Bachelors of Nursing (BSN) programs. You may find that for the same amount of time, or perhaps an extra semester, you could get your BSN instead of ASN. Both degrees will qualify you for the same nursing license, but BSN graduates have more opportunities for advancement.
