Getting into nursing school?

most nursing schools require you to take certain classes before getting accepted such as microbiology, physiology, anatomy etc. took me about a year to get those core prerequisites done, and now i'm applying to nursing schools. waitlist schools estimate around 3 years (i'm waitlist number 522 at my cc) so to kill time waiting to get accepted somewhere i'm working on my GE's and taking classes to lift up my GPA.
I say, if you really want to do it, go for it. I'm 22, and all my older classmates tell me being in your twenties is the best time to go to school and build having a career. They tell me by the time i'm 30 i'll have a career and be set for life already.
Nursing is always a good major to get into, if you take the prereqs and becoming an rn doesn't work out for you, you can get into radiology or become an lvn. LVN programs usually have a lot fewer prereqs to apply if you want to go through that route.
best of luck!
