Can I transfer my credits? You will be completing your course of study based on hours, not credits that are obtained. However, once you have completed the course you have chosen, you may be able to continue advancing in that branch of medicine with transferable courses. For instance, if you graduate as a vocational nurse and become licensed by the state of Texas, you may then qualify to continue your education by utilizing your license to apply for higher education and get into a Registered Nurse.
