Question by danielle esch: How hard is it to go to nursing school and play college soccer?
I am a senior in high school and college is right around the corner for me. I plan on going to college for nursing seeing as that has been my dream job for a while now. The only problem I have is that I am also interested in playing soccer at college. I already a couple of colleges that have contacted me that want me to play for them. The only problem is my mom, who is also a nurse, is totally against me playing soccer in college because she thinks that it will take up too much time from my studies and I won’t do good in nursing school. I was pretty confident that I would be able to juggle both soccer in school in college since I have done it all my life with high school (I have a 4.1 GPA and take AP and honors classes while playing club and high school soccer) but my mom keeps telling me how hard nursing school is and that I would have to choose one or the other and that im not aloud to choose both. So my question is: How hard is nursing school really? and do you think I would be able balance it out with studying and playing soccer at the same time? I am having a hard time deciding if i should give up soccer, which i really don’t want to do, but I will if it will interfere with my future.

well I’m assuming your not in running start and will be new to college credits, that being said, you technically won’t jump straight into nursing school. You’ll more than likely take from a year to two years taking basic prereqs like anatomy, chem, and english. If you are passionate at both, I say go for it. The prereqs are the easy part, now I can’t say how hard nursing school is because I have yet to start but I’ve finished my 2 years of prereqs for the BSN program and you will be able to juggle fine if you make time to study also. I have heard of so many mothers going back to school and I’m sure thats harder to juggle then soccer, so if you set your mind to it, then you can do it. PLENTY of other people are juggling more, and you seem pretty smart so you should be fine, just explain to your mom maybe make her a deal if you don’t get at least a 3.2 gpa your first semester then you’ll quit soccer or something. Good luck with everything, hope this helps!

Question by Dan: Is Chamberlain College of Nursing a good school or waste of time and money?
I live in Ohio and I have been trying for the longest time to get into a nursing program or any program. I just want to get into a health sciences program ASAP and finish so I can get my life going. I was turned onto Chamberlain College of Nursing because it seems like it would be easy to get into and can be done online if you would like. I just need to know if it is worth the time and money or if I will just be wasting my time? If you have heard things or experienced things with or about this program please help me out. I am open to other colleges of recommendation or programs of recommendation. A little about me that may help. I am male, have many prerequisites finished, had a 3.8 gpa coming out of high school, intersted in health programs such as nursing, radiation therapy, medical sonography, radiologic technology, pretty much anything in the health field. I just want a high paying job where I can work in the medical field helping other and I would like to get it finished in the next 2 or 3 years. Thank you for any help you can give me!

Question by hi: what are other nursing jobs that just require high school diploma?ex, LPN,Phlebotomist?
I WORDED IT IT WRONG. I MEANT LIKE ALL YOU NEED IS A HIGH SCHOOL DEPLOMA TO GET ACCEPTED IN A TRAINING PROGRAMN.
Best answer:
Answer by thev_lestat
I believe you have to have training to be an LPN or Phlebotomist, I’ve known people who have gone to school for both. Maybe you could be a CNA, I don’t believe that requires college, but you would have to take a training course for it.

Question by Micol B: Union County College’s Trinitas School of Nursing?
So I recently decided that I wanted to change my major to nursing. I already decided on going to Union County College this coming summer or maybe fall…I made that decision before I decided to change my major. Someone told me that their nursing program is really good. She was even willing to travel all the way from Queens, NY to go to that school. I just want some other opinions.

And, i’ve been thinking Mcgill in montreal for college. (How hard is it to get in, and is it good?)
Best answer:
Answer by north_peach
In typical situations, it takes 4 years to get the required Bachelor in Nursing degree, then they require you to have a year or two experience in Intensive care nursing, and then you have to get your Master’s degree (Nurse Anesthetist) which takes 2 years if full time student. The schooling itself alltogether is 6 years, and that’s not counting the experience you need as a Critical/Intensive care RN.

Answer by eri
Nursing is a college major. You can get a 2-year degree in nursing or a 4-year degree in nursing; either lets you become an RN. You might need some prerequisite classes, but you don’t need to earn a degree before a nursing degree.
