| Posted almost 6 years ago I think you should first figure out what type of program you want. Do you only want a two year degree? Or are you ready for a four year degree? My recommendation is to get a bachelor's in nursing. You just need to research what schools around you offer them. If you prefer a community college - then all you need to do is enroll for next year and do well in your sciences. I think many schools require that you first take (and do well in) microbiology and A&P, and then you can apply to their programs. |
