I'm In High School, I Want To Become A Nurse After Graduation. What Do I Need To Do First?

I love this! I am a retired nurse. First offer a few hours a week in a local nursing home. You will then know if you can stomach some problems there, you are able to endure emergencies of so many kinds, from amputations, to stab wounds, to skin deteriorating diseases. Google information and try and look at as many horrible results of illnesses as you can. The main thing for a nurse to have is the desire and the love for all fellowmen. As soon as you know this is what you want, make the application. Of course there is a high difference in the type of license you hope to acquire. Rn being more intense learning. Do this as soon as possible. I waited years after I graduated from high school, had children in school, and had lost a lot of the ability to study correctly.  Wishing you well

Education wise, you need to make sure you have taken either the SAT or ACT, because this looks very nice when applying for a nursing program. Look around for where you want to go to college and see if they have a nursing program, what it's like, if you'd like to go there... Do your research and make sure you're ready before throwing yourself into it.

I have a dear friend going into nursing, and the program is hard, heavy work with very little free time. But, if you have the will and passion, it will be so worth it.
