Can I take pre nursing classes without getting accepted into Nursing school (passed deadline)?

I passed the deadline to apply for nursing school, and I was wondering how the process works with taking pre nursing pre requisites at technical colleges or junior colleges. Do you have to be accepted into nursing school to take pre requisites?

You are talking about nursing pre reqs?  Sure you can take classes.  I would say this...make sure you contact the school you want to apply to and make sure they will accept the credits. Don't spend thousands on classes based on a message board.  Talk to an advisor where you want to attend nursing school and ask the questions.  Good luck!

Yes, you can always take nursing prerequisites prior to be admitted into a nursing program. 

Classes like Anatomy 1&2 with labs, Microbiology with lab, Chemistry I,  and Nutrition are some of the classes I had to take to get into nursing school. 

I needed the anatomy classes with lab and the Microbiology class with lab for getting into an associate nursing degree program at my community/junior college. 

Bachelor degree/ university 4 year nursing degree programs require the chemistry and nutrition classes in addition to the anatomy and Microbiology classes.

You also have core or basic classes you need to take such as history, speech, psychology/sociology, English, and some type of math.  Each program is different so call the programs you are interested in to ask about their requirements.  Also, ask for an appointment to sit down with an advisor in nursing program so no unnecessary classes are taken.

Best wishes toward your future goals whatever they may be.
