I am thinking about Clepping out of General Bio. and English Comp. I am a fairly strong student with a 4.0. If I CLEP these courses I will be able to apply to a nurseing program at the beginning of the year. Any advice on this?

I took the CLEPs for biology and chemistry, and it was well worth not having to take the courses. The bio was easier than the chem, I thought. I felt like I was guessing on most of the questions but I passed with a pretty good score.
The way I looked at it, I had everything to gain and nothing to lose. If you fail, you'll just end up having to take the courses, which is what you'd be doing anyway if you didn't try the CLEP. If you pass, you save a lot of money and time. There's no harm in trying. Good luck :)
