It's not easy but then going to school isn't. I would recommend at your age, going for a Bachelor's degree in Nursing, if at all possible. You would not regret it. Good luck!

thanks for the support blueyes.

AND what do you call the nurse assisting a plastic surgeon?and do they required an extra studying for that kind of job?

[SmilingBluEyes]

Surgical first assistants can be RNs, Physician's assistants, operating room techicians, for some examples.

If you want to be an RN and a surgical first-assist, certainly make the move to go to a 4 year university RN program, and then work toward specializing in surgery, and go from there.

If you are not interesting in nursing itself, you could always look into becoming a PA or even a doctor. You have a lot of time to decide. Try taking your basic classes, and some pre-nursing/pre-med classes and see what you like. Also won't hurt to shadow or interview medical professionals if possible, a variety of them. Doctors and nurses.

Good luck.

You probably need to post this in your own new thread for more answers.

I don't really understand your question - if you haven't taken NCLEX yet, what kind of license do you have?

a Philippine license only

I only hold a Philippine license. I don't understand how a schoolmate of mine was able to take the NCLEX-RN without passing first any English Proficiency exam.
