Is G.E.D needed to enter a Nursing program @ De Anza College?
I am really desperate to enter the nursing program @ De Anza College here in San Jose Ca. But the problem is, that I do not have a High school diploma nor GED, But the question is....If I did have the G.E.D could I enter the nursing program without having to do the pre-requistes? and if I did have my G.E.D or diploma would I be able to enter the nursing program @ De Anza College without having to do the pre-requesties?

Most such programs are very competitive. I seriously doubt you can get in without a diploma or GED. You have to do pre-requisites. It's how they know you can handle the work load and it gives everyone a basic knowledge level. It's very frustrating to teach a class when you don't have the basic knowledge because either you will fail or the instructor has to waste everyone's time bringing you up to speed.
Get the pre-requisites done. Go to one of the information meetings as they suggest and you can verify that you have to do all the stuff first.
Call or email the college and ask.
