If I were to take trade school for nursing during my 11th and 12th grade year in high school, once I graduate would I be able to get straight into working as a nurse or would I have to go to college to get an actual degree?
I'm a 10th grader who always had an itch to take the career path of nursing and my school is offering grade school so I wanted to know if it’ll be a great way to get started without having to go to college.

I am a high school senior who is really interested in pursuing a BSN. However, I am unsure which college would be the best fit. I live in Houston, TX. I am primarily interested in competitive universities and I always look for ones with low acceptance rates, as I have a pretty decent GPA and good stats and would like to challenge myself further. Please provide me with some advice on what my priorities should be when looking for a college. Also, does it matter if a college has a high acceptance rate? I feel that attending a university with a high acceptance rate makes me believe that I am among people who may not be as competitive, and I feel that I deserve to challenge myself more.
Also would like to know if it would be easier for me to get an in-campus job as soon I will get my EKG and phlebotomy certification through High school. Like any universities that have good medical centers nearby that will get me a part-time job. Please any sort of advice would be appreciated...
