Thank you for your answers. I plan on making appointments with admissions advisors at all 12 schools I'm applying to next week. Hopefully with preparation and good advising I might be ready for the fall.

I was in school in 2010 studying elem. edu. and discontinued. I want to get back into school and eventually become an RN. The community colleges I've looked at admit students based on a point system. Points are determined by TEAS V test scores, college classes in specific fields or HS classes in specific fields like science and math. My GPA in 2010 wasn't good (2. something possibly 1. something) so I'm really studying for this TEAS V exam. Here are my questions: 1. The schools I've been researching all say their nursing program is a 2 year (5 semester) plan which will prepare me to take state RN exam and after that I'll be employable to work in a health clinic. Can I really become a professional RN with an ADN or will I need BS to really be elligiible? 2. Will I have to take pre reqs before actually being admitted into the nursing program? I didn't take the required courses in math in science to be considered for points. If a school accepts HS graduates with no college courses, is it likely that the pre reqs are combined with the actual nursing program? Or is this wishful thinking?
