FLORIDA METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY, CORITHIAN COLLEGES Everest very expensive degree not valied, credits not recognized at any other college Internet

Don’t blame the school that got you a job that lasted 10 years.  You have an Associate in Science, Medical Assisting -- Summa c*m Laude and 10 years of experience!  You are certainly a smart person, why are you complaining? I know the shock of losing a job is overwhelming; but your school should be your ally, running over to another school for help makes me question your logic.

While you may be trying to cross a bridge too far at state U, you have other options. Statistically, state schools are not better than private schools. In fact they are typically on a semester system, which run at a much slower pace than their private school counterparts. If you’re opposed to re-entering the private school sector, find out what medical jobs are equivalent to the RN position (e.g., insurance company specialist) you want to achieve.

The bureau of labor and statistics website will certainly shed some light on other options you may have. Also, look at the courses in the state program and identify where you may be able to get experiential credit. Always look at the bigger picture - - your 10 years of work experience is certainly a stepping stone to something else – someone (another doctor) is looking for someone with your exact background). And lastly, your lay-off was a wake-up call that education is a lifelong process, not a quick remedy when you’re in a jam. Learn from it and keep growing.

Why did you enter a Medical Assisting Program when you were interested in becoming a nurse? You blame the admissions department for this? The school is a University. It was called Florida Metropolitan University and now it is Everest University. Why would you think an AS in Medical Assisting would transfer into and A.S. or B.S. in Nursing? They are two different fields of study. It sounds like you didnt do your homework on accreditation and career choices. You do not know the difference between national accreditation and regional accreditation. This information is in their printed material; you just have to pick up the catalog and actually read it. Regionally accredited schools will take credits from nationally accredited schools; it just takes persistence and a little work on your part. You have to demonstrate that the content of the courses is the same, and they will give you the transfer credit. You cant always expect things to be served to you on a silver platter. Basically, you made poor choices and now you are looking for someone else to blame. Accept that it is your fault, let it go and move on.
