Hello, I have been lurking this site for a while, and really haven't contributed, but I guess I myself could use a little help. I'm 27, and will be out of the army after serving as a combat medic. Prior to joining, my life's goal was to become a pharmacist, after having worked in a Walgreens pharmacy 3 years as a tech. Long story short, I failed my goal with my substandard GPA, however got into a BSN program. Still didn't have my head on straight, I was put on academic probation for 1 year from the program. At this point, I joined the services. During this time, I went a took a few classes(Chem II, AP II) and aced both with my new priorities on straight, and having being married.
With my introduction out of the way, I am running into a bit of a snafu. I plan on applying to the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy when I return. However, I still have around 30+ credits to to take, and had planned on taking them at the community college where we will be living(Johnson County Community College). Upon applying, I learn I cannot use my veterans benefits there without seeking a degree from there. I found a degree that was similar, but was still bloated with classes that I don't need/want. Has anyone found a workaround to this problem, or do I have to suck it up and drive to KU 30 miles for my classes. Any answer is much appreciated
