Well, do you know what nursing school you want to go to? Have a particular field in mind (pediatrics, etc.)? Do you have a nursing school near your home? Search online for Nursing Schools and see what you find. Call and talk to them and see what they say.
Peace!

Yes, it is true that you should know which school you want to go to (if yours doesn't offer an RN program.) Each school has their own entrance requirements for Nursing. A lot of them offer the same prerequisites, but there are some that differ slightly from the "norm". What I did was to find the school in the State that offered the most difficult prerequisite structure, and I planned my AS degree program around that, so that I would cover all my bases.
Work with your Nursing advisor to work your way through school. If you don't have an advisor, get in touch with me. I would be happy to work with you on this.

you do need to have an idea of what school you will transfer to because not all of them will accept all classes. it will cost you time and money if you dont pay attention to the acceptable tranfer list. I was lucky my community college had a RN program right there, as do many in my new area. Look at mutilpe programs... ask nurses you know what they liked and didnt like about their programs... Ask for a visit to different schools and ask lots of questions.... your research will pay off in the end. Last thing... if at all possible get a BSN. it opens more doors.

I've had many students who don't know exactly what they want to do when they first come to school, so it's not uncommon at all. And starting at a community college, and then transferring to a 4 year school later on is perfectly OK.
However, where I teach, it all depends on what school you wish to transfer to because different universities have different entrance requirements. For example, one requires a class be taken in Political Science, while another doesn't.
So I would suggest checking with your major department to find out exactly what's required in order to transfer.

at college you will have a course advisor, ask them, it is their job to help you choose your courses
