| Posted almost 5 years ago Well you could start looking at schools in your area that offer a nursing program and request that they send you some info. Each school requires different things. That is what I did to get started. I got info from 3 different schools applied to all three and got accepted and narrowed it down from there. |

| Posted almost 5 years ago I agree with zonnie when stated that you should look at different school requirements. Also grades are an important part of the admission process, its very competitive and they truly take the top students. Also start study vocabulary words and math cause there are some schools that require pre entrance exams. Good Luck MICHELE
