RNs, I need a little help? |
I have decided to become a RN, but college is going to be new to me. I've had some nurses tell me that they had to take "basic" courses such as English, Algebra, History, ect...before they could start their nursing courses. However, some other nurses have told me they never took the "basic" courses & just went straight on to nursing classes. Who's right & who's wrong? it also depends on your state and its regulations. also depends on if your going for your BS. you have to take a entrance test to determine if you need the extra classes In 2 weeks ill be in high school and have really been intrested in getting a bachelors in nursing to become an RN.What I know and is real accurate.For a bachelors which is 4 years the first two years are real basic yes English,Algebra,history etc.When thats over is when it gets real hand on.The final two years are lots of expirience.Basic courses i think may seem like a waste but it will help you better understand the second hald of college.Need I mention other than bachelors theres an associates degree you still become an RN but its half the college and less expirience.Once out of college and an RN you can work at either a hospital,private doctors office,or a school.But when you think about it four years of college and working at a school to handout band-aids and ice packs.not real exciting.Doctors office is alright but its mostly taking blood pressure,weight,and giving shots,and its small and not a place to move around,however in hospitals RNs and basically all personal keep busy.Hospitals involve lots of work but it rewarding,plus you meet lots of great people.At my point in life RN looks like an exciting and rewarding job but then again im two weeks away from starting high school and have 4 years to think about it. And just to answer your question,every nurse you talk to is telling you there expirience in college and some go all out four years some two and some 6 months so it all depends. Really hope this helped. |
