Have you met with an advisor? They usually will be the ones suggesting classes and the order to take them in. Are your pre-reqs done?

Hmm do you mean you finished your pre reqs and need classes to take until then? If so, I recommend looking into what is needed for BSN programs. For example, AACC does not require chemistry, sociology, humanities or nutrition courses but the UMB BSN program does. You could start to take those classes until the AACC program starts. That way after you get your RN from AACC you would have less pre requisite classes to take for the UMB program.Hope this is helpful.

Yes, I have finished all of my Pre-reqs. I have try to meet with my advisor but she is never there, I try email, and phone. So, that is why I'm trying to find information in this web :/

I completely second this advice!! When I chose co-req's to go with my nursing curriculum at my community college, I chose things that I knew would transfer when I pursue my BSN. I could have taken slightly easier courses but I wanted to make sure I was getting credit that would stick with me for a while.

Good luck!

Are you done with all your GE courses? Finish those up before starting your nursing program.

You can also take medical terminology, drug dosage calculations, and like Bloomgirl suggested, any classes required for a BSN if you plan on bridging later.
