I really want to begin the steps needed to become a nurse. I don't know anyone who has done this and I don't know what steps to take, what do I do first? I live near Chatahooche Tech so I would probably go there or actually I'd love online courses. Can anyone help me with this?? Thank you so much in advance. Im really wanting to get started!! Im a single mom, 34 yrs old & unemployed. I have a high school diploma. I never took SATs or anything. I want this more than anything.... I just dont know how to begin the process.
