Generally, you should have everything you need if you received a 4yr BSN degree. If you didn't go in that direction and went AD to BSN while you were an RN, then Chem, O-Chem, Statistics, Anatomy and Physiology and a good Pathophys. class should be enough for you to be marketable to a program.
Good luck in applying.

go to www.aana.com then click on the little icon "accredited programs" and choose which school you want to find specific pre-reqs for, most of the schools have links to their websites.
basic requirements,
BSN, or other bachelors degree in science
at least 1 yr ICU experience as an RN
3.0 GPA
1000 on GRE for those that require it
