How to become a Nurse?

[TahirahG]

either a CRNA or a psychiatric nurse, i will worry about that later.

i am in high school and my GPA isnt good enough to get right into BSN programs so my plan was to go get an ADN then a BSN but im confused as to what to do.

what is the proccess as soon as you apply to college? correct me if im wrong..

1) apply to college

2)take prerequisite/ Prenursing courses (if its the same thing)

3) get into the ADN program or enter the sophomore year of a BSN program

4) take the test to be an RN

plans for later:

5) work for about 2 years

6) get back in school for a masters degree to become a CRNA or psych nurse

Yes, you have it right. You might want to look at the schools that you want to apply to and find out if they have the same pre-req courses. It will take you a couple of years to finish those classes.

Currently most schools (ADN and BSN) are competitive so you will need to strive to get As and B+ in those courses to get into nursing school.
