What should I take?

Talk to someone in the nursing dept @ your college. They can point you in right direction as programs differ. But mainly you need A&P 1 & 2 plus Micro. Get all the basics you can outta the way before you start program. Good luck!

it kind of depends on the school you wish to go to. most schools differ with pre-req's which is why some people take classes that they find out they don't need with some schools. find a school, talk to their advisor, and find out what you need to be accepted

First thing, find a school or two you're considering and find out their pre-requisites for the nursing program. Start taking the most basic ones first, like English and math, just in case you change your mind on the major. Then pay attention to which classes have pre-reqs (like science classes usually need to be taken in a certain order). And take the classes that are specific to just one school last if you can.

I think all schools will require english101, college algebra, speech, and sociology. I was attending a cal state to try to get into their BSN program but I wasn't able to get in so now I'm going to a private school that offers ADN and those are the general education classes that both schools require. But I'm sure all schools will have a few classes that they require you to take that is specifically for their program. Also, be careful if you're going to a college that is on the quarter system and plan on transferring to another school. I took microbiology and A&PI and II at a college that was on the quarter system and when I transferred to a semester system, they wouldn't let me transfer my credits because it wasn't enough so I have to take those classes over again. So yea, it would be good to talk to a rep from the nursing department and then try to take as many required classes you need before you start the program so you won't have such a heavy classload once you're in the nursing program. Good luck!
