I am currently a senior in high school and graduate soon I really have my heart set on becoming an rn it’s something I’ve dreamed of since a child unfortunately I don’t have the money for a university and my near by community colleges have long waiting list. I’ve decided to become a CNA because my sister said in hospitals (which is where I wanna work) they help you get to a higher position her friend for example started as a cna and is now getting paid more due to them teaching her how to do other stuff and paid for her to go back to college is this true for all hospitals or should I just go straight into Rn ?

Thank you so much I really do appreciate it! This is all the information I have been looking for by any chance do you work in a hospital if you do can you inform me with how many days a week and hours most nurses work. Anyway thank you so so so much your help is really appreciated

Thank you so much I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to Answer this! I apologize for the use of the r-word. What exactly are pre-reqs and what courses do you recommend for me to take while I'm in high school to prepare myself for college?

I'm currently 16 years old and I've been thinking about what college i would like to go to when I graduate.My only problem is that i don't know how to become a registered nurse I've been doing a lot of research and one article says to become a cna first and the other says that to become a lpn.I also want to work as a rn at a hospital.Is there any way I can go straight into a rn program? If so can I just get an associates degree and work at the hospital? How long are the shifts? I apologize if my questions sound retarded but I really do want to pursue this Career I'm very passionate about what I want to do
