Here’s an example of application requirements, for Pitt main campus BSN program. I think most successful applicants exceed these requirements. The site also notes: “Two units of foreign language as an elective are highly recommended. School of Nursing faculty recommends that students also consider taking any of the following elective courses if offered: Statistics, Anatomy and Physiology, Genetics, or any Computer Class.”

I’m surprised to see Genetics on that recommended list - I don’t think most high schools offer it. AP bio is the most important class, and that covers some genetics.

Spanish is helpful in every part of the US for nurses.

I don’t think computer programming would be that useful, but courses that teach how to use standard business computer programs would be worthwhile.
