Questions, answered.
What if I don’t know where to start?
Start with a career that interests you. Explore one path, look at the steps involved, and take it from there. You don’t need a complete plan today.
What is a path?
A path is the route from one credential to the next, like nursing assistant to registered nurse. It shows the steps, how long each takes, and the programs and schools that offer them.
Is this just for nursing students?
No. Explore nursing, dental hygiene, sonography, and other healthcare fields. You can compare options whether you already have a goal or are still finding what interests you.
Do I need a certification to get started?
You can start exploring now. A certification may be one step on your path, but what you need depends on your goal and the program you choose. Check the requirements before enrolling in any training.
Does following a path mean I’ll get in?
No two applications are the same. A path shows you what to prepare and which questions to ask, but each school sets its own requirements and makes its own admission decisions.
Is TransitionU free to use?
Yes. You can explore paths, programs, and schools for free. Schools and training providers set their own tuition and fees, so check those before you enroll.
