Starting Pre-Reqs

Find your learning style now, if you don't already know it. Are you a visual, physical, auditory, or whatever learner? Does a certain combo work best for you? Knowing what resources you will need to study effectively will save you some time and frustration.

Take advantage of the online resources that are available nowadays. Youtube has videos for everything, and it's helpful to be able to get different explanations and examples. Khan Academy is a great one with lots of videos on different subjects. Crash Course on Youtube does good overviews, but has a lesser number of subjects than Khan Academy does.

Research which programs you'd like to apply to now and make a list of the requirements. Some programs are going to need different prereqs or have different time limits on the prereqs, so I found it useful to figure out which ones had the most prereqs in common. That way, I wouldn't have to go back to do one extra class before being able to apply to a program I really wanted to attend.

Florida has quite a few ABSN programs depending on where your family is-UNF, UCF, USF, UF (also has an additional program in Jacksonville), FSU, and I'm sure there's more. There is a bit of excess of applicants though, but I'm not entirely sure what other states are like right now in those terms.
