UKRAINIAN GUY considering nursing

Published

Hi!

I have just come to the United States from Ukraine and soon I will receive a Green Card.I'm considering nursing as a profession and I am looking for your advice.First of all I really doubt that I could make it through Nursing program because of my English(it's pretty good, but not perfect.My vocabulary is about 6000 words,but sometimes it can be difficult for me to understand what people are talking about).What do you think?Is it possible?(I read on this site how difficult it is for Americans to study in the Nursing school and I can only imagine how difficult it will be for me).And I was wondering how can I prepare myself for prerequisite classes and the actual program.I mean what could you suggest me to do to enhance my vocabulary and things like that (maybe some books or Internet sites).I REALLY want to become a nurse and help people.

THANK YOU!!!

You could check with your local college or library. They could help point you in the right direction in regard to gaining more vocabulary skills. Our local library actually has a class for individuals trying to improve their English, also there are tutors available at most colleges. I know there is a great need for males in the nursing profession. I have two male cousins who are nurses and they love it.
