Hello Isabella,

The questions I wish I would have asked are:

1. Which nursing schools have the best state board pass rates?
2. What are the required pre-requisite classes for those schools and can those classes be transferred from a local community college?
3. How do I go about applying for scholarships and if needed, school loans?
4. Which schools have the best BSN (bachelor's) bridge to MSN-nurse practitioner programs?
5. Who is my academic guidance counselor and how can they help me?
6. Which hospitals are used for training and what are their ratings?
7. Can my nursing school help me find healthcare volunteer activities?
8. Will my school help me take a state-board- test preparation class? Will they help me pay for it?
9. Will my school help me with job placement after completion of the program? Are there any local hospitals that hire prior knowing state board results (this depends on which state you live in)?

I hope these questions help you to develop more of your own!!
