I'm attending community college and starting my second semester this month. I've already registered for my classes which are general Ed. Courses. My plan is to get into the nursing program. I haven't taken any science classes yet! When should I start taking my prerequisite classes? Is it best to get an associate degree or best to transfer to get a bachelor?I am a full time student I just need advice on what classes are best to take first! I did talk to a college councilor and she just talked very negative about how it will be too hard getting into the nursing program that it's best for me to have another career plan! No way am I letting someone talk me out of becoming a nurse! Anyways, any good advice would be great! Thanks.
Below are classes I've taken and classes I'm going to start this month,
When I started at community college 3 years ago; my plan was to take one science class and a general elective each semester. It didn't work out that way; the school required algebra before any sciences could be taken. I took AP1 and chemistry together in one semester and the last semester I took AP2 and microbiology. My grades were A's and B's even with a full plate of family issues. It took a alot of studying (mostly in 15 minute increments) and passing up some events that I wanted to attend. The last semester I was truly on the verge of pulling my hair out. It was a difficult semester with very tough professors.

That's interesting, I have heard of needing a General Biology before being able to take other sciences, but not an Algebra course. But schools are different.
Okay so here is my plan on when I'm going to take these classes! I do want to transfer to a four year college so these are all the classes that will enable me to get in! What do you guys think of my plan?
English 110 (fall2012)
Math 103 (fall2012)
Communication 122 (fall2012)
Psychology 120 (fall2012)
Bio 120, Principles of Biology (spring2013)
English 120 (spring2013)
Sociology 120 (spring2013)
