How do prerequisites work?

[laschai]

How do you get the prerequisites before you apply for nursing school? Do you have to take a year of college first, or take them as a summer program during high school or something? Or do they have you take them at the beginning of the nursing program? Confused face.

Ok, so basically what you guys are saying here is that you have to go to regular college to take the prerequisites for a year or two before you can enter a 4 year BSN program? You can't enter the nursing program straight out of high school?

Yes you can. That's how almost everyone I know did it. I attended a 4 year BSN program and was admitted to my university as a freshman nursing student directly out of high school. What other schools would consider "pre-reqs" were built into the Core curriculum for the Nursing School at my University. This is also how every single college I applied to did it. I see you are from MA- I am too. What you are looking for is how most BSN programs up here are structured. PM me if you want to discuss more.
