Hi. I am a still a high school student in the 9th grade and I was wondering...My dream college is to go to UVA (University of Virginia School Of Nurses) and I really want to become a nurse but also want to do sports-Basketball... Can I do those two at the same time? I mean I know that there is possibility that I can get in both programs. But do my dream college provide sports and not just a nursing program. I am highly interested in both, so please answer my question. I need to get ready for college starting now even though I am only in 9th grade. And if they don't them what colleges do include Nursing Programs and Sports together.PLEASE HELP ME!

You are looking to get a scholarship for basketball and go to nursing school....right?
HUm....your high school advisor is probably the best one to see about this....most "nursing schools" don't have basketball teams however....some colleges that have nursing programs do have female basketball teams.
I don't see why you can't play basketball and go to nursing school....but I would call the program you want and ask them how this would work I haven't run into anyone that has done this....nursing curriculum can be very rigorous and time consuming so they may be very difficult to combine.
