It takes four years to get a bachelor of science in nursing.   The first two years are the basic English , algebra, chemistry, psychology etc.  The 2cnd two years are the nursing core  units... medical-surgical, psych, theory lectures, anatomy and physiology, practicals and hospital clinicals.  You should be strong in science and math.  You will have to write well to communicate and are expected to make a few formal papers with bibliography's etc.  I imagine it varies from uni to uni a little .  When you graduate you take your board exam that takes about 2 days and if you pass then you get your license ...You can contact universities that you are interested in and ask for course curriculum's. you can contact universities over the internet and most will send a full prospectus and application.  You could even tour them at your leisure. While you are still in high school....You can do volunteer work in a medical setting or an internship where available or work after school in a nursing home or hospital to be certain this is what you want to do. Keep in mind that some hospitals (the ones I have worked at) don't recognise anything less than a BSN..and that those who have less than a BSN may get lower pay. *I am not saying you are not as good as an RN...just the facts* Good luck

I am a nurse and I actually work with a doctor who was a mechanic and now is a ER physician.  He loves those old Volvo's and drives on to work daily. \nAny ways.  You can be an RN in 2 years or 4 yrs.  When I went to nursing school, they were encouraging everyone to get 4 yr degrees because they said the 2 yr degree would phase out and become obsolete. No way!!! There is such a shortage of nurses they are begging them apply for jobs.  The difference is about .20 cents an hour where I work between a BSN prepared RN vs a AAS nurse. \nI make about $26 an hour now and I have been in the same job for the last 11 yrs with no plans to leave. \nIf you want to be a hospital nurse, you have to be able to tolerate a lot of peoples differences and understand its not about passing out BonBons.  It is very hard work.  I dig out impactions, give enema's, I have had vomit splattered from my hair to my shoes and always keep an extra set of pants in my locker in case someone poops, pukes or bleeds all over me. We have patients who come in with pneumonia and their trachs are bubbling out yellow green mucus and everytime they cough, you are better off to have a pair of goggles on.  We take care of a variety of infectious diseases and see everything. I could go on and on and on. Just realize nursing is not the glamour, its very hard work and you work on holidays, weekends, and they say the older nurses tend to "eat their young".  \nWe would love to have you though. My favorite male RN left a degree in forrestry to do t his, and you can too.

You might want to check out volunteer opportunities at your local nursing homes, or hospitals. The Nursing Assistant programs are a great way to enter the nursing field. Training time ranges from 2 weeks full time to about 8 weeks part time. On average about 120 hours. Starting pay ranges from $8.00 to about $13.00 in many states after training. \n\nCulturally competent , caring "nursing Student" seeks a challenging position with a progressive health care facility where my dedication to patients can be utilized. \n\nTry this one on .

I am a retired nurse.  Became a nurse at age 31, and in my class in college 31 was actually the average age!  We had 2 girls straight out of high school.  All others were older.  In most states a 4 yr college degree is preferred, but in many, you can go to a 2 yr program to get your R.N.  Then you can work as an R.N. and transfer into a B.S. (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)  program at a 4 yr University for 2 more years.  This way you can get tuition reimbursement help from your employer. She could call a nearby Jr. college or community college for info. Many women, and men too, do this. Encourage her to go for it.  The college will guide her into appropriate classes.  There is a specific plan.

Salary.com, will let u know what the deal is. It really depends on the area u wanna werk and depends on the type of job. Even though u say "pharmacists" that can fall under several things, with completly different saleries. The average is like 60K for a RN. General practioners salaries vary, but nurse practioners get like 75k. The same goes for cardiologists, it varys, yet it lokks about 400K. \n\nFinal answer: it all depends on WHERE u werk and WHAT SPECIFIC job title yer goin for\n\nwww.salary.com

There are many ways. Student loans are #1, and when you graduate you WILL be able to pay them off even if you only get your LPN. Approach area hospitals and clinics. Many of them will pay your way if you agree to work for them afterwards. Apply for scholarships, there are billions for nursing school. Fill out a FAFSA.\n\nhttp://www.fafsa.ed.gov

In the end it all comes down to experience. Unfortunately I was told that at the current company I work for that I would be making anywhere from $11-$13/hour (Not stated anywhere just told this). I ended up making $10/hour. When I asked why, I was told it was because of my lack of experience. A co-worker of mine makes $10.50 (50 cents more than me) for having 3 months more experience than me (0 days of experience in the current industry/field). To me that's just plain silly and unfair. But I don't really care. I don't have any college degrees so this is about the limit for a recent highschool grad!

It really depends on the state you work in. For the Big4 in CA, NY, and other big markets don't expect anything less than 50k starting . I know some friends who've started at 55k in SF and gotten about a 3k signing bonus. Also, if you pass the CPA during the first couple years the Big4 usually throw in another bonus. In middle markets, I've heard you make slightly less, 47k-50k.\n\nIf you work at a midsized firm (e.g. GT) expect about the same/slightly less salary than at the Big 4.\n\nGood luck on your job hunt.

Oh, yeah! Consider this: I am making over $60k a year and that is only working three 12-hour shifts a week. That means I have four days off a week. Imagine if a nurse picks up an extra day or two a week. That's almost $100k a year! But, I LOVE my days off. That is all.

i assume you're going to a 4-year college correct? but either way, it's always good to get your BSN before you take the board exam >> NCLEX-RN << and if you pass it then you're be qualified as a RN. i myself also spent 4 years to get my BSN before passing the board exam and became a RN. many people would just go straight to take the exam after they've earned an associate degree in science to become a RN, that way they save time and money. but i wouldn't suggest you to go for the shortcut, the BSN comes in very helpful in the long run as if you want to advance to a higher degree like DNP - master degree in nursing, very very good money. lol but anyways, just try to have fun with the pre-nursing courses for now and worry about being a RN later. i'm sure your professors will give you a lot of help and you'll understand more about the consequences of becoming a nurse.

It really depends on alot of factors. I am attending a  Tech school. The salary of nurses who have a 2 year degree and the salary of those with 4 year degrees is the same. So it just depends on what you want to major in. Tech schools are less expensive and offer the same advantage: getting a good job. your salary isnt just based on where you went to school it can also be based on related experience,sometimes your college GPA, and other skills related to the job. So there is really no clear cut yes or no answer here. I'm sure there are tech grads with degrees making more than 4 year degree grads.

I know people who get $35 an hour. LNA's I know make $15. And the LPN I know makes $21 an hour. It does depend on were you live also. But please if you are just getting in to this for money then don't do it. There are enough nurses now that give inadiquit care because they are just there for a pay check and not the patient. This is a very trying job there will be patients you love and patients you despise. There will be days you go home crying and days you will go home smilling. But everyone desreves the best care they can get. No matter what field of health care you are in. If this is something you feel strongly about doing for the reward of helping someone everyday then all the best to you. The nursing community needs good nurses. And the demand for nursing is very high everywhere.

My wife is an RN and has been for twelve years.  She makes about $4500 a month, but she only works part time.  Full-time nurses in California can make about $90,000-$110,000 depending on location (Newborn, L & D, Emergency, Neo-Natal)\n\nIf you are just starting hang in there.  The classes are tough but it is worth it.  Great pay, good hours, 12-hour shifts at some hospitals, and great benefits.

That depends on the location and what languages you are proficient with.  As an entry level you will probably find ranges between $35K - $50K.
