Thank you Dianah! Are pre-requisites studying for in the four years of the college degree? That's what I don't quite understand! Does this mean that before I can apply to college, majoring in Registered Nursing, I have to study these pre-requisites? Thanks so much for your response :)

Hi! I've just emigrated to California, originally from Liverpool, England. I'm wanting to study to become a R.N but finding it really difficult to understand the system over here and how to get into college. Ideally I would like to get a BSc in Nursing and understand this would take 4 years to complete. I have completed high school in the UK and have really good grades. So where do I go from here? Here are my questions: 1: what are the requirements to get into college for Nursing? I.e are there any exams I need to take prior to get into the school? 2: is 'Nursing School' the same as college? Or do you complete two years of pre-reqs at college and then apply for 'Nursing School', using the third and fourth years of study to focus solely on Nursing studies? If someone could just basically give me a detailed time line of pre-post Nursing studies that would be awesome! My head is just so boggled by all of this new lingo and new systems! Thanks so much, Christina
