I want to get into nursing please help :)

Hello, I am very new to this forum and I hope I am not doing a stupid post or anything haha, I have been told off for bad posts on other non-nursing forums. But anyway, my name is austin and I have been taking classes at a community college just to get an associates in science but now I think I want to get into nursing. My mom is a nurse and I think it is pretty interesting. I was wondering what the prerequisites are for a bachelors in nursing cause I may go for that cause I have classes that apply to science but not to nursing. Should I go this road or should I try to get my associates and then go for a bachelors? Also, is it possible to take the none nursing classes like pathophysiology or nutrition while I am on the waiting list to get into nursing school, or do I have to take them while I am taking the nursing classes? Also, If I can take these classes while not in the nursing program, then I will be taking just the nursing classes and I have already covered the elective with my previous classes, anyway will this make the nursing process easier? and by how much? Thank you for any feedback, I am very nervous about getting into nursing haha. Thanks again :)
