Welcome. Nice to meet you.

For now just concentrate on getting into nursing school. Take the right courses in high school such as chemistry and algerbra to get you into a good program. You'll be taking a year or two of pre-req and co-req courses. In nursing school you'll find a wide variety of clinical experiences that are going to expose you to many different areas, and you can later hone in on what interests you.

Getting your RN qualifies you for many departments and jobs after graduation, so it's not necessary to think about a specialty now if you're unsure.

Good luck and welcome. Feel free to ask any questions about nursing that you have.
