Admissions Requirements for Entry Level BSN :: School of Nursing :: The College of New Jersey

Thank you! The school I want to attend says there are no high school courses you need to specifically take in order to get into their Entry Level Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. However, I know that some admissions like to see that you have taken advanced sciences courses in high school because it's competitive, so I'm worried they might not look twice at me.

I'm a senior in high school. I want to get into an undergraduate program...I'm not in college yet, but colleges make you indicate that you might want to major in nursing in the future. My high school doesn't offer microbiology and all of that. Maybe you misunderstood my question?

I'm apologize if this isn't the right forum! I know getting into undergraduate nursing programs is difficult. Throughout my high school career I've taken chemistry and biology and 4 years of math, but no physics or advanced science courses because I didn't intend to go into nursing until my grandfather got severely sick with cancer and I realized that it felt right to take care of him. I've always wanted to help people, but this year I've realized that nursing could be the way to go. I'm not unintelligent, I'm in the top 10 of my class, have a high gpa, and take advanced language, english, and history courses. Would not taking many science courses bump me out of consideration for a nursing undergraduate program? Thanks for your thoughts :)
