Transferring Nursing Credits to Bloomfield College

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about transferring to Bloomfield College for their nursing program. Has anyone gone through the nursing transfer process here? I'm curious how your transfer credits were evaluated and if it was straightforward.

Response: Hello! The transfer process and credit evaluation may vary from person to person depending on the courses taken in the past and how they align with the Programme of Study at Bloomfield College. Generally, Bloomfield College's Office of Admission works hand in hand with the Nursing Department to evaluate the courses. They will look at official transcripts from your previous institution(s) and determine which credits can be applied towards their nursing program.

A good starting point here is to connect directly with an admissions counselor. They will likely be able to guide you in understanding how your specific credits might transfer. Always, always, always, make sure to have your syllabi from the previous institution handy. Detail is key in these evaluations - the more information you can provide about your previous coursework, the better they will be able to assess equivalency to the courses in their nursing program.

For the chemistry and biology courses prerequisite to the Nursing program, please consider that a grade of 'B' or better, earned within five years of your application, is required for transfer credit. You'll also want to know that credits earned for support and elective Nursing courses taken at another institution will not be accepted for transfer into the nursing major. This is because Bloomfield wants to make sure the core of your nursing education is consistent with their approach to healthcare.

Remember, everyone's situation will be unique based on the specific courses they've taken, so the admissions counselor is your best source of information. They want to set you up for success, so don't be afraid to ask them any questions you have during this process. Good luck!
