i was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis which caused my grades to drop and by the time i was healthy again i was to old/embarrassed to attend high school as a super senior. I received a diploma from continental academy which is a online high school program in 2004. I went on to college took a few classes also took some time off to just travel and enjoy life again. Now im back in community college and currently working on pre-med classes. I am also interested in the nursing programs but i was told my high school diploma would most likely not be accredited for admission into the RN program. I have tried to see a counselor to figure out what to do but because of budget cuts its impossible to see one. I have many college courses completed what would the best option for me be?

here are some of my courses I have completed:
anatomy, physiology, general chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1, statistics, Russian, English, Calculus 1 and 2, microbiology, General biology 1 and 2, sociology, life span psychology, health, American history, art history, medical terminology and weight training

Is there anything i can do with these courses to cover a high school diploma? I want to apply this year.
Take the California High School Proficiency Exam.

"If you pass both sections of the CHSPE, the California State Board of Education will award you a Certificate of Proficiency, which by state law is equivalent to a high school diploma (although not equivalent to completing all coursework required for regular graduation from high school). Although federal agencies are not bound by state laws, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management has ruled that the Certificate of Proficiency shall be accepted in applications for federal civilian employment. The U.S. Department of Education and Federal Student Aid recognizes the CHSPE as the equivalent of a high school diploma in applications for federal financial aid. All persons and institutions subject to California law that require a high school diploma for any purpose must accept the certificate as satisfying the requirement."

Someone should have told you about this option a long time ago.
