GED to BSN?

Published

Hi! I was wondering if any of the nurses with a GED could help me.

I am currently in classes to get my GED and I've just purchased the 2017 GED book to also help me. I turn 18 in January and I'll be trying my first attempt on the GED tests.

I really want to become a Nurse and I would love to get a Bachelors degree in Nursing. I plan on starting General Education next fall ( the prerequisites to the nursing prerequisites)

and I am very excited. But I want to know if it is possible. I am not trying to be mean but I would like to know if anyone in the last five years got their GED and became an RN ? Only because of today's society. Thank you very much.

You are probably wondering why I dropped out of high school, boyfriend reasons. At least I am being honest. I don't want to get into the whole story but he left to a different city and so I stopped because I felt like I wasn't going anywhere. He came back and I worked for a year and all of a sudden I told myself that I was going to go back to school. That it would be better to get it all out of the way now then later, so I don't regret it. I don't want to regret anything and if I can get it done I will. So please help me.

I live in Arizona if that helps.

Thanks again !

If you use the "search" function in the right upper corner and type in "GED", you'll find plenty of them. It's not the most common scenario, so there might not be anyone around who fits your criteria at this very moment.

Good luck with your test.

A woman in my class went from GED to BSN with a full time job, husband and a couple kids. Go for it!

I got a GED and then an ADN at my local community college, and no one has questioned the GED part. I only put my college level education on my resume.

Let me tell you, a GED is EQUAL to a high school diploma. Do not allow anyone to tell you anything else. I dropped out of high school in freshman year, moved out of my house (yay for addicted mommies who can't handle their crap), and worked until I was 22. Since my mom was holding all of my ID documents hostage (no joke), and I was too naive to realize there were some other avenues to getting my documents, I didn't get my GED until I was 23 (yay for daddies who are great daddies). Took about 3 weeks, studied, and passed. Got into college no problem. Did my pre-reqs, and I'm in nursing school now.
