Depends on where you got your CMA.... A lot of colleges that offer CMA programs have a different type of accreditation than your local community college (they may have a private accreditation vs a nationwide accreditation. Unfortunately, a lot of the classes might not transfer to fulfill pre-req's needed for an associate degree nursing program. They may require you to repeat certain classes before applying to the nursing program. Also, some nursing programs require science courses (eg A&P, microbio) to be taken within the past 5 years.
Definitely best to send all your transcripts to the community college and have them evaluate it. Then, schedule appt with an advisor (who is familiar with the nursing program) to go through them with you a set a plan of action.

Go talk to a counselor at the CC. That's what they are there for. Take a transcript from your CMA school.
They may allow a lot of your CMA course work (or work experience) to count toward your LPN.

That will depend on the specific nursing program. You will need to talk to an adviser at that specific college.

You first have to learn to spell and type better.
