Start right now! Volunteer or get a job at your local hospital. You can deliver meals, or work as a nurse aid. You will get a "feel" for nurse's duties. Check out your local community college website. Sometimes you can "sit In" on an anatomy class, see if you find it interesting. Good Luck!
Thank you comment icon Hey, you can start by volunteering and shadowing and get a feel of how the nursing field is. There are also hospitals that offer internships for high school students. Sweta

Start concentrating on the sciences. Make sure you have a good understanding of biology and chemistry. Take a CPR class. If you know any, talk to a nurse.

Hi Krysta!


Here is a site that will tell you much about nursing:


http://www.collegeamerica.edu/blog/why-would-i-want-to-be-a-nurse


Also, go to your local community college and arrange to talk to graduates of their program. Starting at a community college is a great economical way to begin your education.


Also talk to you school counselor about participating in coop, internship, volunteer, and shadowing programs that might be available.


Send thank you notes to those who help you. Please keep me posted as I would like to know how you are doing. Best of luck.
