Nursing Prerequisite Help

Published

Hello all,

I attended a community college for individual health sciences for 2 years and did all my main prerequisites to get into a medical assisting program. I was actually accepted into the medical assisting program. But however plans did not follow through due to a loss of financial aid. I am now looking into a medical assisting program through a business and technical Institute. However I had attended the community college pursuing my Associates of Science in Nursing. I am now at a loss for how I should go about continuing my education to pursue my dream of becoming an RN. Any help as to what would be in my best interest is greatly appreciated. Thank You :)

Trying to follow you but I'm lost somewhere between medical assisting program and associates degree in nursing. Thus far, which classes have you completed at your community college that could count toward prerequisite for nursing school? You at least need anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, college algebra, psychology, and composition. Then you must check with the school (s) you are aiming to apply to find out which other classes are part of required admission. For instance, some nursing schools list pharmacology or nutrition as a requirement, others do not. Also, attend information sessions for the schools you want to apply to, that'll help clear things up.
