UMPI Psychology

[Shyjbh]

I did find a Wiki Detailing a route I could take. My goal is to use this Psychology Degree to enter a nursing school in my town that doesn't use an entrance exam. It took me like 2 hours to figure it out. Only thing is I think I need to take Anatomy & Physiology I&II and Statistics UMPI. They require quite a few other prereqs that will be completed through the psychology degree.

Are you talking about an accelerated BSN? You do not need a psych degree to get into nursing school. Nurses generally only take 2 psych classes (Intro and Developmental) plus STATS , so it doesn't really make sense to pursue a psych degree. It's just a deviation.

UMPI doesn't have anatomy and physiology for yourpace. Also, many nursing schools REQUIRE Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 WITH lab (meaning in person not online). I recommend taking these at a local CC. Sophia will NOT be adequate, I promise you. The majority of nursing programs will not take ACE credits.

If they'll accept ACE sources, you can take Anatomy & Physiology + Lab and Statistics at Sophia, then Anatomy & Physiology + Lab from StraighterLine.

I highly doubt they will. I have been on nursing school admissions teams before and they are generally picky (given that many A and P classes are highly rigorous.) These are considered the "Cut Courses" and one large factor when gauging admission.

There are no shortcuts here. They know it's not fair when someone can breeze through Sophia AP 1 and 2 in a couple of days versus 2 trad semesters of in-depth AP with intense timed exams and cadaver labs/practicals (and hundreds of hours of studying).

I transferred my SL sciences into a nursing school. Union County College in NJ takes SL, and so does Ocean County College. Thomas Edison School of Nursing does too. Although, TESU Nursing program preferers SL sciences over Sophia.  
I've taken "butt in seat" sciences and SL sciences; SL courses are BETTER in many ways and most times more rigorous and more thoroughly review the subject matter content. The lab kits are fantastic too. I would say, even if your school does not take SL credits, it would not be a waste of time to take a SL course prior to taking the class your institution wants you to take. You will go into the course 100% prepared. Covid has changed everything, and schools are discovering that just because someone takes a course online doesn't mean they're not capable of academic rigor. It doesn't mean we're cheating; it doesn't mean we "breezed through." All those assumptions are unfair. In fact, my TEAS exam score, which was in the 90s, was significantly higher than the students who took mostly "butt in seat" classes. I think the grade and the effort is about the person; not the school or where they took their classes. I switched to pre-med so I'm no longer perusing nursing at this time, but I would tell OP to be a little bit more thorough and ask your school lots of questions. You may be surprised, and you can also save yourself lots of money.
