What degrees do you need for neonatal nursing?

Associates in nursing?

  • 18 credits shy of finishing my associates in healthcare administration.....I didnt realize I could have become an RN with my associates degrees upon passing NCLEX exam. When I enrolled at University of Phoenix they told me I would be better off getting my associates in healthcare administration then go on to earn my Nursing degree after. @ Im wondering if I can go to my community college after I complete my associates at the UofP and just take the neccessary classes to prepare me for Nursing...Biology, etc.... or will I need to continue for a BA in Nursing?

  • Answer:

    If you had started out at your local community college, you could have gotten your Associates RN from there, you could have gotten a job as an RN with an employer that would pay (usually not at places like UoP, but at State Uni) to get your bachelors as an employee benefit many people that I know, including my Mom & my Sister got their Associates RN at our local community college, and used employee benefits to get BS RN the biggest problem you are going to face is that UoP credits, as well as any of the not-really-accredited for-profit schools, are usually not transferable to any public/state schools Before you assume that your associates from UoP would qualify you to even sit for NCLEX exam... you better check with your state's nursing board to find out what is required https://www.ncsbn.org/2321.htm https://www.ncsbn.org/contactbon.htm UoP sold you a load of crap, of course, they are for-profit, so what would you expect?

Of course they told you that. They want your money. Definitely not good information and you will end up screwed over without the RN credential and a lot of loans.
