Don't worry about the job you want just yet, you don't specialize in nursing school. That happens when you apply for jobs. Are you looking to go to school in Florida only?

Hi Ashley66

You can attend which ever nursing school program that you can afford after you decide which degree you are pursuing. Do you want to be an Licensed practical nurse (LPN) or an RN with a diploma, associates, or bachelors nursing degree.

After you determine how long you can be in school, and whether you want to be an RN or not, choose the nursing school that you are qualified for (based on GPA) and can afford. Start now if you haven't already...I'm told there are waiting lists for RN students in many areas. However, most hospitals will help you with tuition if you promise to work for them after graduation, and there are others which will pay off some loans after you are hired. Hope this helps, much success to you...don't be surprised if you change your mind about specialty during school or afterwards. Keep an open mind about where you'll end up, you may find you like something else far better. Much success to you...
