I am thinking about getting my GED and I was wondering if getting into a nursing program at a college is harder when you don't have a high school diploma and also being hired at a hospital. I heard someone say that people with GEDs don't get paid as much as nurses with a HS diploma. Just wondering if getting a GED and starting early would be worth it. My grades aren't the best right now and I feel as though taking the GED test would give me better scores than what schools would see right now. What is your experience? How did it work out for you? Thanks guys! Haley
