I'm a high school junior and im planning to go to college after high school to get into the field of nursing. I have been looking on line at nursing careers and colleges and classes for different fields i want.

I have looked a lot into RN classes but I'm not sure if thats where i would start is going into classes for an RN career or if i have to work my way up to an RN.

If anyone could give me ANY type of advise that would be great.

Also. what classes would be good for my Senior year?
i have already take biology, Physics, Algebra, Geometry, (algebra 2 next year).
then my senior year i have lined up: Human Phys, Algebra 2, chemistry, Human development and family wellness,. ANY THING ELSE??

So good to have you with us and great to read of your interest in nursing.

I moved your thread to the Nursing Career Advice forum for a better response.

Hope you enjoy the site.

If you are certain you want to go into nursing, check the prerequisites for the school you want to enter. If you live near a community college, you may be able to earn college credit and high school credit simultaneously. I don't know if the classes you have taken will apply for your college requirements or not.

After you graduate you can start with the RN. You don't have to work you're way up there. There will be college level pre-req courses that you're going to have to take to get in, which vary from school to school but usually are courses like Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology and maybe even Englishes and humanities.

Those courses sound pretty good for you to take in the meantime. Just be sure you take high school biology, chemistry and algerbra and you should be fine. The rest will be helpful as well.

Good luck to you. Welcome and please feel free to ask any questions you have.
