That is going to be tough! You will need the foundations-college English, public speaking, critical thinking, college math. Then you need A&P, microbio, biochem. Many of these science classes require labs. Start with the foundations courses. Many CCs have online programs, you could easily knock out the first 4. Good luck!

Online classes will require that you have graduated high school first. Some prerequisites will have components that will have to be done in person and not all schools will accept online classes. There are no short cuts to becoming a nurse.

Is there a local community college that you could do dual enrollment courses at? My local college allows students to take the basic general education classes while still enrolled in high school for both college and highschool credit. It's pretty cool because it was free for students ad you could graduate high school with your associates degree if you wanted. Too bad I didn't do thst! But maybe thats something you could look into

Have to agree. This is going to be very difficult. You can become an RN in two years at a community college. But if you want to go on and get a BSN, you should wait until you get to college to start working on pre-reqs. I thought about doing LPN classes while doing Pre-reqs and it's close to impossible. College classes are a lot different from highschool classes.
