Hi KATRINASC!

The very best thing I can tell you is to actually go to a hospital, and volunteer. Nursing is a second career for me, I am 26. I had to be SURE that it was absolutely what I wanted to do before investing the time, and the money, into school. I volunteered for 4 months, and loved it.

Talk to actual nurses. Each state/hospital/etc. varies at how they do things.

Try doing some searches on this website also. Or, go to the areas for your specific state.

Best of luck to you!
