What exactly is the best way to become a Registered Nurse?
Hello there. i have been checking online for weeks now, and i cant seem to find what i am looking for. here is the deal. I am 19 years old, and i would like to eventually be a Registered Nurse.
Is it the best way for me to go with an Assiociates Degree in Nursing first? and later on go with a Bachelors degree in nursing? if so, what exactly will i be able to perform after i get my Associates Degree in Nursing? for example, will i be taking people's blood pressure, their vital signs...etc. or will i be able to do more than that?..i am so clueless. and yes i have already talked to a few people at different colleges, and they cant seem to give me a good answer. one i could barely understand and the others didnt seem to care too much. any information is greatly appreciated. Thank You!
First, do you have high school courses to your credit that prepare you for university. If you don't or don't have an average over 70% or the average that is needed to enter the program then I would suggest you go to your local college and take pre-nursing or whatever is offered that helps to get you ready for the nursing program. This will last only one year and in that time if you have good marks you can apply to your local university and if you get accepted then I would suggest you stay for the whole four years and get your bachelors because this kinda what I am doing right now. The higher your education the better salary and jobs option you will have. After the four years you need to apply for a license in order to practice in a variety of places. Good Luck!
