Since all RN programs tend to have differing prerequisite classes, you will need to call the nursing program of each school and ask them to send you an informational pamphlet on their program. Or, you can find this information online, because most nursing programs have their requirements listed online. Good luck!

If I recall correctly most of my pre-reqs for the LPN program were the same as the ADN requirements. I had to add Statistics, Oral Communication and a Humanities elective for the RN program so I knocked them off pretty quickly. Good luck, Jules
