Hi! I am looking for some info. I'm graduating from high school this May and I have decided that I would love to become a RN. Unfortunally I am very overwhelmed and in dire need of help. I have no idea where I should start the process of picking out a school. I live in Kansas City, Mo and I need to find a good, affordable (I have to pay for it myself) college. I know I need to get in my basics, but can I start nursing school at the same time? I have also heard that some hospitals have their own nursing programs. Does anyone know more information about that sort of thing and if so would it be a good idea for me to look into that further? Also if anyone who is reading this works in a Maternity Ward please tell me how that is. It has always been my dream to work in a hospital and help bring new life into this world. Thank you so much for your time and help.
