Hi, I am Ashley I'm 17 and I am homeschooled ( I have been since 1st grade). I have always wanted to become a nurse and I want to do ER nursing. I wanted to know what do I need to do in order to become a ER nurse, is it hard to do? What classes do I need to take in order to be accepted into a nursing collage? I also have heard that you have to be good at math to be a nurse, is that true? I am not the greatest in math at all and I really struggle with it, but I am working on it. What type of math do you need to know to be a nurse and how much do you have to use it in the field? My last question is, since I am homeschooled will it be harder for me to be able to get into nursing school? I use the LifePac workbooks, so I don't do online schooling unlike most homeschoolers. I really am a good student and work very hard with my schooling and would hate to not be able to do something I love and want because of that fact. I plan on getting my GED latter this year sometime, is that a good thing or will it help me any to get into college? I'm sorry for so many questions, but it is really hard finding good I information and I found this site and was hoping maybe that I could find some answers. Thank you ahead of time for any responses, I really appreciate them.
