I am confused because I e-mailed some colleges concerning their nursing programs, and they said that I need to take the prerequisites before i can get into the BSN program, and that takes two years. Others said that I take them while i'm in their program. I'm entering my junior year of high school in september, any advice on these prerequisites, if they're required? I'm a high school junior; i live in nyc and want to attend school here. What are the best nursing programs in nyc?
