I have changed my major and i am now suffering the consequences. I never even considered nursing in high school, but now it is all I want to do. My first year at my local community college is complete, but I have no preqs to apply to adn or lpn programs around here. I am so disgusted that I have not taken any biology classes, but I was letting my advisor register me for both semesters. My question is would it be better for me to just get the prereqs this summer semester and this fall..and go from there with the adn program or since it still took 2 years of general studies, to just go on and get the bsn. The schools in my area say you dont have to have A &p 1 or 2 or micro to apply, but they count as competitive points - so there is no reason in me applying right now I know.

many nursing students find that they take a year more than they thought to finish, so you're all set there. even though it's a drag now, in ten years it won't matter a bit.
start where you have to be to get in the process for your bsn as soon as possible, and good luck!!
Thanks (: I will. While Im still getting general studies I plan to get certified for nursing assistance. This will hopefully let me know if Nursing is really for me and provide me with proper experience.
