questions about prerequisites in CA

[Natanail]

Hey,

I would like to study nursing and I have already applied in a college for ANS . After that I heared about prerequisites of nursing and I really confused.

Should i pass them before i enter the college or i will study them as the units that i choose in ANS program in college?

What are prerequisites for nursing and how long does it take to be studied?

Is there any one who can help me here

:)thanks again, by the way ,I have an other question too, do you know in california when is the time for new applicants to apply? Fall or spring?

Schools accept students for both semesters. You can look at the websites for the schools to see when to apply. I believe for community college, you can apply anytime.

All pre reqs are required before entering the your nursing program. I haven't seen one yet that lets you do them during the program. I know for sure you can't get into any program without the sciences already completed. The program is strictly using classes all the other courses are done prior.

Here is a good example of what they are telling you. Keep in mind, this link is for an ADN program at a community college in Los Angeles

Nursing: Basic Admission Requirements [Los Angeles City College]

Also, the same community college has collaborated with a University to get a BSN one year after completing the ADN program. http://web.calstatela.edu/academic/hhs/nursing/BSN_ADN_pro.php
