I suggest you take the 3 year nursing program. The quick study courses do not adiquitely train you for the higher paying RN jobs. \nthey only prep you for the LPN or CENA jobs that can pay Min. wages.

If you are going to nursing school, it would make perfect since, to me anyway, to take the 8 week program and become a certified nurses aide.  I know two of the girls that I went to college with did this while waiting to be accepted into the actual program, and they now work at a hospital at Nashville making $35 an hour. Let me give you a piece of advice:  Do what your heart tells you, go for your dreams, they can't come true if you don't chase them! Also if you need some help deciding, say a pray before you go to sleep, guarantee in the morning you will have your answer.  Good Luck!!

You must be 18 and be a caring, responsibe person.  You need to be literate and able to take orders but also work on some initiate.  I dont know what the entry qualifications are now...they have changed since I was nursing.

For me it would depend on cost and the education you want. I found attending community college the first two years was much cheaper than paying for the same courses at a university. I then transferred to a 4 year university and that worked for me. It also liekly depends on your age...I was 22 when I returned to school-I wasn't in the same place as some 18 year old are with wanting to room with other kids their age etc.

Just check the nursing school and you also can probably get a regular school loan

Begin at the community college, then transfer to a university.\n\nI know someone who took nursing assistant classes at a vocational school--the results were not impressive.\n\nThe community college should have career tests, to get an idea of how you would do.

Try community college first.

I am in the same boat. I  did know of a school but can't remeber the name, but you pretty much had to be a LPN to go into nursing, and it also depends on the state you live in due to licencses policy. However, I suggest you take all prerequisites  check you local community college for online, or distance learning courses first then do clinicals when you are able to make the time.Try typing in RN training online see what happens! Good Luck.

You have to go to a nursing school there first I would imagine.

If have a good GPA you can apply to University but usually you don't get accepted straight to college of nursing.You'll apply for the Natural Science programme(pre-professional) to have your core or perequisites completed in about 2yrs before you can be admitted based on good standing to professional program (nursing college).However,you may take your core in a college other than university so that you can transfer.Make your intentions clear about transfering to a university so that it doesn't become difficult when transfering.This will save you alot of money.Those yrs will not go wasted because you'll head straight to junior year when admitted to university.\nNB* you may take an associate degree program in any college,it takes 2yrs but that will not get you into university nursing college because requirement for associate degree does not meet bachelor degree requirement.Good luck

Depends on where you got your CMA.... A lot of colleges that offer CMA programs have a different type of accreditation than your local community college (they may have a private accreditation vs a nationwide accreditation. Unfortunately, a lot of the classes might not transfer to fulfill pre-req's needed for an associate degree nursing program. They may require you to repeat certain classes before applying to the nursing program. Also, some nursing programs require science courses (eg A&P, microbio) to be taken within the past 5 years.\nDefinitely best to send all your transcripts to the community college and have them evaluate it. Then, schedule appt with an advisor (who is familiar with the nursing program) to go through them with you a set a plan of action.

you must go to a nursing school in college and become a registered nurse. in high school, to prepare for college, you should take bio 1 and 2AP, and all the required sciences

Go talk to a counselor at your local college or nursing school.  They can tell you where to start.  Some nursing programs take some time to get in to, but you could be studying the basics while waiting to get into the program of your choice.  Good luck.  It is a rewarding job.

I would suggest a 2 year RN program at a community college.  I would then complete the BSN while working as a nurse (to make sure you like it) then apply to a CRNA (or other nurse practitioner school if you want to explore other nurse practice opportunities) and work while in school.  That way you are making a fairly good living and working in the field. \n\nThe link below may prove informative. \n\nGood luck!

Nursing School helps!  I recommend that you go for a Bachelor's Degree at an accredited Nursing School at a University, rather than a community college.  More and more hospitals are preferring a BSN to an ADN.  Plus, with a BSN you have SO many more choices!  You can do Public Health, any hospital nursing, get into management, and become a travel nurse.  You should research with you local colleges and universities, or whichever ones are nearby, to find a nursing program that will work for your schedule, budget (though I recommend financial aid or loans), and career opportunity aspirations.\nNursing school is tough, but so fun and rewarding.  So is being a nurse!
