Nursing Degree? Is it okay to start off at a junior college and transfer?

Vale Of TearsTM. asked:


I’m a senior in high school, and my high school grades weren’t the best, but I took honors and AP classes. I only I got into a few UCs and Cal States(state CA). I also did not volunteer or do any work experience having to do with nursing during high school. I want to pursue a career in Nursing though. Is it okay if I start off at a junior college, get like a 2 year associate’s degree in Nursing, and then transfer to another university to get a bachelor’s degree in Nursing Sciences or whatevers? I was thinking, if I work hard at the junior college then transfer it would be okay, but I’m also afraid of not being able to fulfill my goal of becoming a nurse. Anyone have any advice or experiences that would help me with my decision? D:

    You may be surprised that your local community collage may actually offer fully credited 4-year baccalaureate nursing degree, granting they are extremely competitive. That said, if you don’t get admitted into the BSN program, you can take a ASN and become a LPN, work for a bit, then re-apply to the 4-year BSN program. With the work experience they will give you some credits, thus a better chance and getting into the BSN program. It will still take you 4 years to get your BSN though, no shortcuts.
