Pre Reqs

I live near a technical college and community college which offer pre reqs needed for nursing. The technical college is right up the road from my apt but the community college is in another town and their schedule conflicts with my work schedule.

Would it be wise to take pre reqs at a technical college? The two schools are accredicated by the same association

I am not sure if I want to go for an ADN or BSN in Nursing since I already have a BBA in Management and IT

Be very careful taking any classes at a technical or vocational school with the idea of transfering them later to an NLN accredited nursing program. The best way to know if your prospective community college will take courses from XYZ Technical college in transfer is to talk to a counselor at your intended community college. Can't you take a vacation day or a half day off to make a visit to the community college? Call first to get an appointment with a counselor, so your trip will be productive.
I agree with the other poster. Make sure the credits from the tech school will transfer, most do not. I would stick with the community college or see below.If you want to take CNA classes, the Red Cross offers them at a much lower cost than a tech school. Go to the Red Cross web site, the info is there.Good Luck.
The technical college I'm looking at doing my LPN at has a transfer arrangement with the local community college for SOME classes, but not all. I haven't checking into it because I already have most of my RN prereq's.
Quote from KwalityI'd also like to see any replies. I have a BA in Sociology and I'm thinking of tanking a CNA class work for a little and then take the LPN or the AD in Nursing. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. :wink2:
Make sure they are transferrable and in the correct number of credit hours your school needs prior to getting into them. Good luck.
