Where to take pre-requisites? CA, SF and East Bay area? HELP

What type of training do you already have? What was your previous background? Some of the pre-reqs can actually be done on-line.

Your issue with right now, is that fall classes have begun already at most schools. The only way that you will be able to begin is with some on-line programs.

Answer the above questions, then we can offer some more help to you.

Talk with a few of the nursing programs in your area, and find out where there pre-reqs are. They will differ with schools. Many will accept on-line pre-reqs.

You just need to ask...............

If you already a BS degree, then you can also look at accelerated programs.

At this point in time for you, it comes down to where you can get in.
Job descriptions are the same no matter where you went to school. You sit for the same RN license. That is what matters, that you can get the RN after your name.

More room for advancement with a BS, but if you already have one in another subject, then it really doesn't matter for you.
