Nursing school admissions

Appears that you were a victim of autocorrect ('loonies'? 'runways'? 'peruse'?) - hopefully, I'm making the right assumptions about the actual meaning of your post...

First step is to get admission information from all the programs that interest you so you can make a decision about which one(s) you are interested in. This information should include the overall structure of the program, examples of typical semester schedules, the required pre-requisite classes and costs of everything. Then - fill out your FAFSA to see whether you're eligible for student financial aid & start chugging through your pre-requisite courses. Most of us here on AN will advise you to your pre-requisites at a Community College, as they are relatively inexpensive and usually have open admissions.

There really aren't any shortcuts, especially if you are starting from scratch. It will take time. You're looking at at >3 years for an ADN - add at least another 12 months for a BSN if you don't run into any roadblocks. Be patient with yourself. Do you best - admission to nursing programs is very competitive so you're going to need to make very good grades in those pre-requisites.

Wishing you all the best on your nursing education journey.
