Switching into pre-nursing

I am close to finishing my first semester of college and have realized I want to become a nurse practitioner. My current school does not offer a pre-nursing program. Therefore, do I need to transfer to my state university asap?

Also, is it true that nursing programs don't care the college you get your prerequisites at as long as it offers pre-nursing?

If anyone knows anything about Georgia State University's pre-nursing, that would help tremendously.

Thanks!

    You can do prereqs anywhere, granted the school who's nursing program you'll be in accepts them. And if you want to be a nurse maybe transfer sooner rather than later to a school that offers that major!

    Thanks for your input!

    I plan to transfer next semester but right now am stressing over whether this is ultimately what I want to do with my life and whether my physical self can handle it.

    Also, does completing my prereqs at a certain school increase my chances of being accepted for BSN?

    Also, I was wondering how important the prestige of BSN and MSN is in the nursing profession.

    When I start applying for jobs, do potential employers care more about where I got my degree?

    If I were to save money, I'd go to a in-state school with a lower ranking for my BSN.
