John’s Answer

Becoming a nurse doesn't require any special certifications. All you need is to finish either a 2-year Associate degree program (ADN) or a 4-year Bachelor's program (BSN). After this, you'll be eligible to take the licensing exam. Both these programs include additional classes beyond the essential Nursing classes. These extra courses are designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of the human body and mind. Depending on the program you opt for, you'll need to take classes in Anatomy & Physiology, Psychology, Microbiology, Sociology, and others.

If you're currently in high school and eager to get a head start, consider checking out the nursing program at a college you're interested in. Look at the specific courses they require and if you're up for the challenge, start with one or more of these. Completing these classes early will allow you to concentrate more on the core courses once you start the program. Every step you take now is one less you'll have to take later, getting you closer to your degree and your dream of becoming a nurse.

Best of luck on your journey!
