You indicated that this student “might” want to be a nurse after graduation.
Before starting any kind of nursing program (accelerated BSN or CC) I would make sure that this student is sure that they want to be a nurse. I would interview a few nurses, volunteer, maybe shadow at the pediatrician if permitted, and take a look at the nursing classes to make sure they are of interest to this student in terms of material, skills that need to be learned, etc.
IMO nursing is something that you need to be sure about before starting. I think the first step is to decide if nursing really is the right career path (only because you said “might” want to do nursing), and then they can think about the right program.
I would still take the prerequisites while in college.
