So I'm looking into becoming a nurse, but I'm sort of confused. I know I have to take my pre-rec classes, and then my plan was to transfer to a 4 yr college to get my BSN, but do I have to get into a nursing program before I get my BSN? Or doesn't getting my BSN mean I'm also a nurse? Sorry if these questions are stupid, I just haven't ever had these things explained to me so I'm a bit confused. Also I live in southern Cali, in Palm Springs if that helps, and I currently am taking, math, eng., health ed, and Couseling, and next semester I will take more math and eng., history, and phsycology . Thanks for Ur help in advance.
