Hi! I recently found this site when looking up info about being an RN and it is absolutely amazing sooo I wanted to ask a question for my own. I hope it helps others like me. I'm in high school, my grades are good, 4.28 W GPA. At the end of my senior year I will be CNA certified w/ 100 hours of Nursing home experience. I receive a lot of "oh you're fine don't worry about it" but what can I do/except/want in the future as I pursue to become an RN? Length of school? Costs? Pay starting off(California). Habits. Strategies. Anything that falls under title. I know I may have relatively good grades, it doesn't really benefit me or anyone who does until we know what actual opportunities there are and how to achieve them.
