I'd say statistics and biology, although whatever school you go to will probably require you retake them since it won't be the rigor that's required for nursing.

If you could take AP Stats and get college credit for passing the AP test that would be great. That would be one less class you would have to take in school. The other classes you'd really just be taking for the challenge as the prerequisites for nursing are different from these classes. Does your school allow dual enrollment at a local school where you can actually start taking the classes you'll need and get both high school and college credit?

Oh yeah, and congrats on wanting to become a nurse. I wish I had known about it in high school.
