Do i have to apply to both the school and the nursing program or once you've been accepted to the program thats it? (I live in Florida if thats any help)

Usually both. Just because you are admitted to the school doesn't mean you are admitted to the nursing program.

You need to read your school's handbook, it is probably available online. Every school is different, it seems, especially when it comes to nursing school. I imagine you will need to declare nursing as your major, and also apply to the school of nursing. There will be certain requirements that must be met before you can actually start in a nursing program, but you can be accepted as a student at that particular school and start pre-reqs.

like what others said, you have to follow the instructions. it's probably most likely that you have to apply to the school itself and also to the nursing program too. You must be admitted to both not one or the other.

Most places you have to apply to the school first before you can apply to their programs.
