Question
hello my name is victoria and I am interested in becoming an RN but I am very confused on the route to becoming successful in this area. I am currently enrolled in college just taking classes that will benefit me in nursing. I need to know will it be better for me to get an assoc. in nursing or just take some classes and pre reps. that will help me in this field. I just graduated from high school in 2009 one year before I was intended, and now I need just a little help in the route to began. And I also need to know specifically what I need to do and where to start. So if you could help me out it would be FANTASTIC!
  Thanks,

Answer
Victoria, this is a very god question and I am glad you are considering becoming a nurse. I would advise you to immediately enroll in the Bachelors nursing program and stop taking random classes. You will graduate with a Bachelors degree in nursing and a lot of great opportunities. I would then advise you to obtain a masters degree and this will open any door you want.
