Study, study, study!

     Some people have a strong idea from an early age what they want to become "when they grow up." Unfortunately, it takes some of us longer to figure out what career path to choose. If you eventually make the smart selection to join the nursing field, there are a few preparatory curriculum choices to consider. Nursing Society.org offers helpful information on how to get an early head start on your future career in nursing:

High School Preparation - Students who are thinking about Nursing as a career should plan a college preparatory curriculum:

• English - 4 years (verbal and written communication skills essential)
• Math - 2 to 4 years (algebra necessary for success in chemistry and medication administration: geometry)
• Science - 2 to 4 years (chemistry essential: biology important: physics recommended: computer science)
• Social Studies - 3 to 4 years (psychology important: sociology: history: government: economics are all recommended)
• Foreign language - 2 years (highly recommended: some variation among individual Nursing Schools)
