can i switch nursing schools

It may be possible to transfer nursing credits between schools.

You may be able to transfer some, but not all of your nursing credits if you switch schools. In order to know how many classes you’ll be able to transfer, first contact the new school and ask them if they will accept your previous credits from another school. You can also ask them what their maximum number of credits accepted for transfer is. From there, compare that number with the number of classes you have already taken at your old school and the total number of courses required in order to complete a degree program at the new school.

If it turns out that you will not qualify for a degree program at the second school due to lack of transferred credit hours, then you may still be able to use all or most of your previously earned credits by enrolling in a new bachelor’s or associate’s degree program in nursing at a third university altogether.

Nursing programs are designed to be taken in a certain sequence, so it’s important your first school has the same structure as your second college.

If your original school and the new school have different nursing programs, with different courses offered at different times, it’s possible your credits will not transfer. Different schools also offer courses in various time formats such as semesters or quarters. You should ensure that you are able to complete the program in the desired timeframe at your second college.

When researching colleges for nursing programs, you should find out which accrediting body the program is accredited by and make sure that other colleges accept those accreditations. It is also important to ask about transferring credits from one college to another before you start classes.
