What country are you from? The US doesn't call levels of nursing "general", we have Licensed Practical (or Vocational) Nurses, and Registered Nurses. Both require college degrees and passing the NCLEX. All are "registered" with our state's Board of Nursing.

We also have varying levels of Emergency Care (first responders), from Basic to Paramedic, even Flight qualified.

You can go to a LPN program, or get an Associates (ASN) or Bachelors (BSN, Bach. of Science in Nursing) to become a nurse. You can't take the boards (NCLEX) to become a nurse unless you graduate from one of these schools.

Good luck, hope you find a program you like.
