Need some help!

Hey everyone.

So I am a senior, considering college in the future. Planning to got to CCV, community college of vermont. In consideration with pre reqs and such, would getting a certificate be a good action plan to start? The course is called allied health prep, which covers nutrition, anotomy ect... Then to move onto the nursing program. I was just wondering what steps would be best on my part. Heres the site if anyone would please help me, what would be your decision on a good move. Also considering a certificate to have a better paying job. Heres the website

Are these courses the same as some of the courses in your nursing track? If so, then it might benefit you a little to get this certificate. You could probably get a job in a dr's office while you're attending nursing school. If this is going to take extra time and make you start nursing school later, then I would skip it.

all those courses will go towards a nursing degree so it can't hurt either way. for your science electives i'd suggest microbiology & chemistry (some nursing programs require chem, mine didn't but one i was applying to did).

i'd like to reiterate what east texas said. if it takes extra time and money i would avoid programs like these. if your focus is nursing, take all the pre-reqs you can to get into the program. it will take some time if you're fresh out of high school anyway so you will have time to make a decision. i'd also suggest volunteering or getting a job in a hospital/nursing home/etc as a nursing aide/PCA so you can observe RN's as they work -- as well as get some experience on a floor.

good luck!
