The best person to get this advice from is an administrator at your college.  Otherwise, you might not end up taking the classes that you will need to go pre-med.  Each institution has different classes that it requires, so it's best to go to a professional so you don't end up wasting money and time taking unnecessary classes.

Think about what you are interested in, and then do some research on what kind of jobs you can get with degrees in those majors.  Pick a combination of something that interests you, but is a degree that allows you to get a good job after college.

Did you go to college?  A lot of us didn't have a clue when we graduated high school.  College opens up a lot of doors, and brings a lot of new ideas.  Maybe that would help you find what interests you.

I'm not an RN, so I may not have the best advice, but I do work in health care (diagnotic radiography) and I think your interest in becoming an RN is excellent.  From RNs whom I have known, most have said it's been a rewarding career, but a lot of work, which can be taxing.  Personally, I think building a career in health care is really one of the best choices one can make.  Not only for reasons like $$$, but, health care isn't going away (i.e. job stability, constant progression) and it's a unique field that keeps you on your feet, directly helping people on a daily basis.  Oh, you could check out some universities in your area for what they have to say about RNs.  A lot of websites seem to have information about what it's like to be an RN, etc.

It's perfectly OK that you are still unsure about the path you want your life to take. Many people are still unsure when they are ready to graduate from high school or college. Don't worry about what your friends think. Each of us makes these choices when the time is right for us. You will, too. Take your time and don't let anyone push you into making a choice before you are ready. God Bless!

What you have chosen sounds good.  In the overall scheme of things it doesn't matter a great deal what else you choose since you are only in 11th grade.  Just make sure you continue with sciences and continue to do very well in them.  Universities look at how well you do in your courses, not so much at which courses you do, as long as you have the required ones.  And you have the required ones if you have the math, the sciences, and English.  The only ones I would recommend are a psychology course and/or a statistics course if they are available to you in high school.\n\nGoodm luck with your future plans.

I think they would accept any major.  But you would need a good background in chemistry, biology, and math.  Figure out which school you'd like to attend and then check for specific requirements.  If that doesn't work out you could always go into nursing, a field that will boom as there is a major need for nurses right now, and really good pay too.

I applaud you in wanting to becoming a nurse and doing it on your own. Here is a little story for you and may it help you. I was 20 when I got out of high school and my parents could not afford to send me off to college and so like you I had to decide what to do. I joined the Marines and spent time during Viet Nam, when I got out I had saved enough to get training into the field that I wanted to be in. I found a cheap computer and never being on one before but having the fields that I had learned while I was in the service. I learned very quickly and became good at what I wanted to be and to make a very long story short I ended up helping the family and and friends that supported my efforts to make my dreams to come true. Before my mother passed on to God and the Spirits above she told myself that I had become a jack of all trades and a master of some. What made me proud was that she said any thing is possible if you put your will, soul and mind to it. Good Luck at what ever you decide and may you always succeed at. God Bless

Go back to college and do your GCSE's. If it's what you really want the option is there for you!

well, when I was thinking about being a nurse I decided to go to my local hospital and volunteer. This way you are exposed to different situations, see what goes on day to day in a hospital, you can ask questions of the staff. Most of all if you do check in at the ER you can see if you get panic over extreme blood or wounds. The added plus is you are also helping your community this way\n\nI decided not to become a nurse because I found out I passed out at the sight of blood :)

you should contact the college you are planning to attend and speak to a course counsellor. they can tell you everything you will need to know.

You need to go to nursing school. They usually have mother/baby classes in nursing school. You need to have a strong science,chemistry,and math background. Good luck.You dont have to go to college before nursing school. You can be accepted to a university that has a nursing program or go to a community college that has the program.You don't have to get an associates degree at a community college unless you aren't accepted to a 4 year school.

Testing and counseling might help. I would also suggest that you do some volunteering in these fields so that you get a first-hand appreciation of the reality of these occupations. Sometimes we think we want to do something, spend 4 years and more in college studying for it just to realize that it is not what we want to do, so try volunteering and experiencing what it is like to work in these fields. Good luck!

Just because you suck at Math doesn't mean you can't get good at it.  You just need to go back and start over, find someone that can teach you math in a way that you can understand... it all depends on the teacher. Your teacher was the "looser" for telling you that. You can be anything you choose to be with enough hard work on your part, just make sure it is something you are genuinely interested in.  As for nursing, I would say a moderate level of math would be required, and probably the same for a psychologist (depending on what field of psychology you want to get in to) Set a goal for yourself and work toward that starting now. You will be proud of yourself when you succeed, and at the same time you will prove that moron of a teacher wrong!

Go to your nearest community college, get a copy of the curriculum offered and ask to make an appointment w/an career advisor.  They can give you a test to help determine your best academic field and interests.  Hopefully, you'll find a health care profession interesting to you as there are openings in the health care field all over the country.  Vet tech is another field that is growing with a wide range of possibilities.  Good luck!
