sryy!~ it's pretty long...but if you can answer any of the questions, please answer it THANK YOU!~~ Hii~ Im still in high school (going to be a sophomore) but i already decided my career~ I want to become a RN!!~ Right now, im still deciding what university/college should i go ( i live in southern CA) Personally thinking about.. UCLA (probably not gonna get in....) UC Irvine Cal State LA does Cal State long beach has a good nursing program? what university/college have good nursing program ??? (i wanna stay in southern CA) is it possible to fail and not graduate the yr that im suppose to graduate in those hard universities? =___=? My friend told me that i dont have to go to a good university/college to become a RN cuz at last you still end up to be a RN and the salary is basically the same too is that true ? so graduate from UCLA nursing program=graduate from community college nursing program???? Also, how many routes are there to become a RN?? i mean i heard some ppl talking about 2 yrs Associates Degree program & 4 yrs Bachelors Degree program (i have no idea what those prgrams are...) what is the difference? both can still become a RN right??? is there difference in salary??? which one is higher ADN BSN or RN??? how high should i reach if i want to work in a hospital or medical center??? Since, im still a sophomore, can you guys give me some advise like what courses should i take... what activities should i go (outside the school) so far im doing volunteering service in a hospital... and im participating in a varsity team (does that help ?) does joining clubs help? what else can i do? do i need a high GPA to become a nurse? it depends on what university im planning to go right? ahh~~~.....i still have a lot more question to ask but i can't remember them right now -____- anyways THX for reading this long and filled with question marks post!!!~ :)
