Welcome!

I recommend you just talk to your school couseling office. Let them direct you to the best classes for the program you are going for.

Good luck!!!!

If you plan on starting Nursing school, I would recommend that you get all of your prerec's out of the way. Once you start the nursing program you need to be focused on nursing and nothing else. Depending on where you want to go depends on what subjects you need prior to applying. Make sure you keep up your grade point average, because getting into some of the Nursing programs go by your average. SAC has changed its program since I went there. My dtr n law goes to SAC nursing school and she is doing well. A/B average. If you want to be in management go on and get your BSN. Once you get your prerec's out of the way, it still takes about 2 years either way. You just have to know which path you want to take. I have my ADN and I've been a floor nurse to a nurse manager. Some hospitals will pay a BSN $1 or 2 more per hour. Good Luck
