Question
I would like for you to help me chose the right college for myself. I would like to become a neonatal nurse, i looked at a couple colleges but I'm not sure which one is best for myself. If you can will you please help me so that i can prepare myself for the rest of my high school like and into the begining of college.

Answer
I would suggest you go online and look at colleges that offer nursing.  It is important you consider where you want to be, how large a school you want, what other things are important to go in a college experience and make your choices based on that information.  You should work hard through your senior year in high school and take as much math and science that you are able to take.  Also take both the SAT and ACT and see which test you do the best on.
Colleges will take the best scores from either test.  If at all possible, try to visit any schools that really interest you so that you are able to actually see what the campus is like and whether or not it seems like you.
