• Answer:

  The CW Post school only offers a BSN program for people who already completed an Associate Degree RN program, it's not for initial licensure, which is what you need. SUNY Albany also does not have a nursing program. So the first thing you need to do, before anything else, is pick a school that has a nursing program that you want to attend. Talk to them and find out their specific admissions criteria, which of your courses will transfer towards those, and, if you want to take courses at SUNY in the meantime, ask them which courses from SUNY will transfer as pre-reqs to this school. I suggest googling your state board of nursing and looking at their website, as usually they will have a page dedicated to listing all the nursing programs in the state, so you know what schools to look at and if they are near you or not.
