<p>OP, if she really wants nursing and FSU, she can always take the nursing prereqs at a state/community college and earn an A.A. degree first (usually 2 years/60 hours). The gen. ed courses are identical at a CC and class sizes usually cap at 30 compared to 300 person lecture halls found in the gen ed courses at university. </p>
<p>The nursing prereq core is usually pretty standard: anatomy/physiology I/II, microbiology, general biology, chemistry, nutrition, and some common gen. ed coursework (math, English, psych). Of course there will be small variances between schools. </p>
<p>According to their policies, it seems common for Florida universities to not accept transfers unless the A.A. has been awarded.</p>
<p>Her science gpa is probably going to be the biggest factor in getting admission to the nursing program (usually limited access- this is because we do not actually have a nursing shortage in this country, as professors will atest to), so make sure she is aware of that in going into her college science courses.
If she gets solid science grades (mostly As, a couple Bs at most) she shouldn’t have much to worry about in getting accepted to the limited access programs.</p>

It is important to know that she must complete all the ‘milestone’ courses on the right side up to the term in which she intends to apply in order to be considered for transfer. This is usually up to/including term 3, but it is best to ask.</p>
