I am a sophomore at a community college, I am currently in the LAS program, however I am transferring to a four year university in hopes of getting my Bachelors of Nursing. I want to become a NP, the law is changing so it is now required for all NP to get a DNP or a PhD in Nursing. The question I have is what University should I apply to. I need to make sure they take community college credits.
Currently, I have a 3.9 GPA, I received one A- so it knocked it down from a 4.0. I am in the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, as well as my colleges Honor Society.
I looked at prerequisites that you need before being accepted into a BSN program. General ones being, Anatomy 1&2, Chemistry 1&2, Microbiology, Nutrition, Human Growth and Develop, Statistics, College level Algebra, Spanish, English 1 & 2, Social Science and Humanities electives- I am currently working on completing all of the requirements. Which is why I am taking 6 semesters, instead of 4.
My question is, does anyone have a similar experience, any advice, or just general comments?
Also- I am not doing a two year degree in Nursing because I want my bachelors, and I want to get moving forward. My adviser and the director of nursing said to skip the two year degree, and be accepted straight into a 4 year. If anyone was wondering why I wasn't doing that.
The schools that I am currently interested in, however it would be a great help if someone recommended other schools as well: Emory, Oregon Health and Science University, NYU, Duke and UNH.
Thank you!
