I believe these classes I have to take are co requisites (they actually refer to them as "gen ed courses but I believe that is the same thing as a co requisite, no?). The only thing that is required is to have 12 credits in order to apply. I think I will go with the second option and apply next year that way, like a lot of you said, I can have all the time next year focusing on all the main nursing courses and not have to worry about other courses weighing me down and also have the knowledge of taking all those gen ed courses a year in advance. Thank you all for your help, insight, and opinions!

Hi! I am attending Bay State College currently and their policy states that you need to have 12 credits and you must take the TEAS in order to apply to the Nursing program. I just took the TEAS today and my adjusted individual score was a 70.7% which I am very proud of! I only have 10 credits but might have the opportunity to take another course this semester so I can have 12 credits and be able to apply into the nursing program in the fall. My other option is to wait a year and get all of my pre reqs out of the way in the mean time. What do you think the better choice would be? Taking care of my pre reqs for a year and then take strictly nursing classes the following year? Or should I try to apply into the nursing program ASAP and do my pre reqs while in nursing? Thank you for your help and insight! BTW my schools nursing program is ADN but after completing that and passing the NCLEX, they offer a BSN finishing program which can be finished in around 16 months or so!
