Hello future nurse, I just started a program for an Associate's degree in Nursing at Kaplan College down in San Diego, CA. I am currently taking some prerequisite courses and a nursing class. Taking Anatomy and Physiology together at the same time can be difficult, but the two classes go hand in hand. The information on body structure from Anatomy is used to describe the functions of the body in Physiology. I am also a CNA, and though this is not an absolute requirement for becoming a nurse, one should at least be aware of what a CNAs are obligated to do. CNAs are available to assist nurses with residents, specifically with resident's activities of daily living (ADLs). If you found a good program that can qualify you for taking the NCLEX, then go for it. Many (if not, all) colleges and universities have impacted nursing programs, so sign up and do as much as you can now. GOOD LUCK! -you'll do great, just keep trying.
