Feeling like the biggest fool , am I doing this right?

Hello , I am a senior going into nursing ( Hopefully starting in Spring 2018) I am feeling so confused when it comes to transitioning into High school to community college. I noticed that the deadline is Jan 1st 2018 and there is no way I won't get accepted in that time span. I have questions but I am afraid they'll come off as stupid :

  1. What courses are best to take first ?
  2. Will CLEP come in handy?
  3. If I am not accepted is there a possibility that I can just reapply for the deadline?
  4. What is the time span?
  5. Will I have to take A&P II and Intro Microbology at the same time.

Again I'm sorry I just feel very scared about it all and foolish.

They should have advisors specifically for the nursing program available to help you with these questions. I am not from GA so I can't really comment to well, but have you checked out the website?

For example, do you have all the pre-requisite classes:

English (ENGL 1101), mathematics (MATH 1101 or MATH 1111), human anatomy and physiology I and II (BIOL 2113, BIOL 2113L, BIOL 2114, and BIOL 2114L), and introductory microbiology (BIOL 2117 and BIOL 2117L) with grades of C or higher by January 1 of the year in which admission is sought. Applicants must also possess a minimum GPA of 2.75 on the five core courses listed above.

Plus:

Valid ACCUPLACER, COMPASS, ASSET, SAT, or ACT test scores

Applicants must take the NLN Pre-admission RN Examination no later than January to receive consideration for admission to the program. The NLN pre-admission test may be taken every six months. A minimum score of 70% percentile is required.

Students selected for admission to the Nursing program must attend a mandatory pre-admission orientation session once selected. Failure to attend or to make alternate arrangements to obtain necessary information may result in the forfeiture of admission to the program.

Applicants must submit all required documentation to the Admissions Office by February 1 to receive consideration in the selection process.

I strongly urge you to reach out to a nursing advisor and go over your current transcript and paperwork.

Good luck!
