Lots of Question!!

Published

Hi Everbody,

I just want to say first off that this website is really intresting and I am really glad I found it.

Im a senior in high school at a very small town in Oregon, and this fall 2012 I will be moving to Central Wyoming for college. I am very excited, but I have no clue what to expect. I was hoping someone would tell me what to expect or what to do. I want to get into the nursing program, but dont know where even to start to get into the program or what to do to even get qualified to get into the program. I hope you guys can help me out with this.

Thank you,

Countrygirl10

As you've found, there is a wealth of information on AN about nursing as a career. For specific admission requirements to be admitted to the nursing major at your college -- your adviser will be in the best position to answer your questions.

Good luck to you. :)

Hello. Good luck in your quest to become a nurse.

Make a list of questions for your guidance counselor. Especially about financing and student loans.

I took all my pre -requirement courses .. and then applied to the nursing program.

It was much more do-able to do the nursing clinicals , without the other courses involved.

Takes longer but I feel it is the only way to go.

Keep us posted!

I would call the nursing department and speak to an adviser on where to start regarding your classes, etc. They will be your best bet. Talking with your guidance counselor couldn't hurt either.

And...yes, this site is pretty amazing! :)
