I graduated HS in 2017 and didn't know what I wanted to do or if I wanted to do anything. My big dream in life is kinds unrealistic but I'd like to achieve it soon I just need a plan b and a job. Nursing is my second passion. Anyways, how long do pre-reqs take? People say they take 2 years. If they take 2 years then that means becoming a nurse takes 6 years of schooling because you have to take pre-reqs and get your bsn. Can I do them in a year? I work full-time so I'd have to take online classes and weekend classes. I'd like to work in the picu and pediatric oncology. What do you love about your job? Is it worth it?
