Graduating HS with all of my nursing prerequisites done

[highschoolrn]

I am currently a junior in high school and plan to attend the Texas A&M HSC in College Station for my BSN. I will be applying for the program my senior year. I have already completed 20 hours of the nursing prerequisites with a 4.0 and will have them all completed by the time I graduate high school in 2016.

I am worried that my age will be a problem. If my GPA and HESI scores are good, can they discriminate for being young? I am also active in HOSA, NHS, Spanish Honor Society, and cheerleading if that matters to nursing schools.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Congrats on being so awesome!!!! :) I have looked at RN job posting and most do say at least 21 years of age. SO I dont know how old you will be when you graduate. I would check with your state.

You're awesome! I'm 33 and working on my prereqs. I wish I had started on this career path when I was younger. You will go far in life! :)

Make sure you're doing your general ed as well. Nursing prereqs are good, but you need your general ed for your degree as well.
