I have heard that A LOT of nursing students work through nursing school! It is definitely possible :). I have a son which complicates things so my boyfriend (son's father) is the bread winner. It's hard to find a job that doesn't intervene with schoo...

That is GREAT that you are volunteering in the specialty that you want to go into. It will look good on your resume. I would ask some of the nurses who work for the place that you volunteer for. And like Heather said, research it. :)

I didn't think I would do well on the ACT either, I took it a year and a half after I graduated high school and only skimmed prep material the night before and I did a lot better than I had thought I would and I don't need to retake it. I would go an...

You have to take a placement test for the college (depending on your ACT scores). You do not need any pre reqs completed before you apply for the nursing program unless you are placed in, for example, in the level down of English 101 (non credit Engl...
