BSN: Associates Degrees vs Medical Classes? Prereqs expire?

[SummitRN, BSN, RN]

So, I am in a situation where I can apply for a BSN program. I can choose to take the final two classes to earn my dual AS degrees (one in Bio and one in Chem) which happen to be Art Appreciation (as 3 semester of photography and a semester of film do not count for art) and Western Civ I. Otherwise, I can take two HPR classes, Ethics and Legal for Healthcare Professionals and Pharmacology for Medical Assistants. I can obviously take the two I don't take in the fall during the winter, but I can only list those on the application as "I intend to take and earn." So which looks better to admissions?

For the record, I have something like 120 college credit hours but all lower division and no degree.

Additionally, I have some prereqs that came from highschool AP credit:

Algebra covered by Calculus AB with a 5 in 1998

Statistics with a 3 in 1999

Econ/PolySci covered with US Government, Micro Econ, and Macro Econ all with 5s from 1999 and 2000

The BSN program states that prereqs have a 10 year expiration date. Are they likely to tell me that those prereqs are expired?

I know my 13- year old Anat, physio, and micro I'm going to have to retake. I want to know about the rest.

Work and play,

Are you saying that if I get my RN next year..and try applying for a BSN I would have to retake anatomy and physiology If it is 10 or more years old? (its jsut about at 11 years right now)

Depends on your program. Mine, and all the ones I'm applying to need to be witin 5 years. I'm back to retaking them. I'm taking phsyology in the Fall. Anatomy and micro in the Spring.
