Nursing with PDD-NOS

Hello everyone! I'm 17 years old who was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at the early age of 2 years old, but I'm high functioning & I'm able to socialize & do daily tasks without a problem. So my question is do you think that it's possible for me to become a nurse one day? I've wanted to become one pretty much my whole entire life, and i think part of me wanting to pursue nursing is because 90% of my family are either nurses or Drs.

    Hello MeatHammer and welcome to AN! It would truly be impossible for anyone on the internet to be able to answer your question. However, it sounds like you have some great resources that would be able to help you find the answer- your family! Being in health care and also knowing you (far better than any stranger on the internet would be able to), they can help provide advice and guidance.

    In order to work as a Nurse, if you want to do the LPN route, you would go to school 9-12 months, take clinicals in school, pass your boards.

    If you want to work as an RN you will eiher go the ADN or BSN route, go to school 2-4 years, clinicals in school, pass your boards.

    It may take longer if there are prerquisites from high school that you need to take.
