i am thinking of studying to be a nurse but i am 42 and i only have high school education where do i start?

Question:

Answers:
Go talk to a counselor at your local college or nursing school. They can tell you where to start. Some nursing programs take some time to get in to, but you could be studying the basics while waiting to get into the program of your choice. Good luck. It is a rewarding job.
Local community college. look into programs at your local technical college


Go to a college and get an evaluation to see where you are at English and Math.


My best:) I would say go to the nearest community college and ask a lot of questions. But 42 is not too old to start training for a new career. Here I am at 59, learning Microsoft Office products and lots of fancy software, and honestly expecting to use it all in a good job that (hopefully) can last me until retirement.

Good luck! This country needs more good nurses. (Oops; I'm assuming USA again; but I suspect the whole world needs more GOOD nurses!) Yes a local community college can get you started. Better if you can find one with a nursing program so you will be able to plan what classes you need, but you should be able to start and get the basic in at a college without a nursing program. You will need to take college entrance exams first before they can tell you what classes you need to take (based on how well you score in math, etc.)
Good luck!


Yeah, community college for 2 years and then 2 more years at a regular college. Talk with admissions people. Make sure you are ready to take on some debt and are ready to learn some Chem, Bio, and Math. It will be easier than getting a degree in any of those three but still difficult. That's part of why Nurses are paid so well.

Make sure you look at scholarships and such like that. Focus on your LPN first and go through community colleges and such. Try to get that for free with scholarships and grants.
