Harder for homeschoolers to get into college? I was considering taking prerequisites then applying to nursing?


school...Is it harder for homecshoolers to get into college/ nursing school, or not?

It certainly should not be
I would highly recommend taking some basic classes at a local Community College and then apply to the nursing program in the mean time. The reason is 2-fold, an associate RN which is earned at the community college typically requires a certain level of pre-req's to enter the core nursing program; plus, you will ussually be put on a waiting list...so if you do this from the start, you may be just about done, when you are "accepted" to the core program, which will be the 2 year portion.
It is important to brush up on science and math skills.
My 2 year Associate degree for RN took me 4 years to do, b/c of the amount of pre-req's.
You can always go back and get the 4 year degree (BSN) in about 18 months after you have your RN, I did and it was worth it
Good Luck

why would it be, if you took the state tests like your supposed to,and the Sat's you will take the same entrance exams as anyone else

No. You will have to be current on all required standardized tests and you should be OK.
