Need advice on what to do

Your next step is to scout some schools you would be interesting in attending.

Once you have done that you will know what entrance test you will need to study for - TEAS V or the HESI.

Look at schools you might be interested in attending, find out what kind of nursing programs they have. I know some schools have special programs specifically for students who already have a bachelor's in another area. Think about whether you want to get an ADN or BSN. ADN might be faster, but it might be easier to find a job with a BSN. Either kind of program will likely consist of 2 years of nursing classes (unless it is accelerated) after you finish/transfer in your prerequisites. Find out what the prerequisites for the programs are, and if you are missing any I would recommend taking them at a community college. Most schools have all this information on their websites. You might want to make appointments to speak with admissions counselors or attend open houses at schools you are interested in. You'll also need to think about how far you are willing to travel for school, how you are going to pay for it, and whether you will be working and attending school at the same time. Basically, just do a lot of internet research and soul-searching, then start filling out applications! Good luck!
