Should I take ALL gen ed courses before applying to nursing school?

Published

I haven't been to the DVC counselor yet so that may help clear up some of my questions but I thought I'd ask here.

I have very little college under my belt. So in order to get my ADN I need not only the nursing prereqs but all the other general ed classes (like English, math, history etc). Do I need to take ALL of these before even applying for nursing school? Last semester I took psych, this Spring I'm taking Speech and English, hoping to take math and history over the summer (both of which are requirements for the AA but not requirements for nursing school obviously). And then I was planning to start my sciences next Fall. But I just got to thinking about it and I'm wondering if I should apply as soon as I'm done with the major nursing prereqs like the sciences, speech, etc.

I'm in CA by the way. :)

I want to take some online but I'm worried about the transferability of the credits, especially being in CA. Which schools offer online sciences that will definitely transfer?
