Nursing: What do I need to do?


I want to go to school for nursing so bad! I live in the Metro Atlanta (Georgia) area. What is a good school to look in to? Keep in mind that I also have a full time job. Once I find a school...what the crap do I do??? I'm so lost on this whole college thing.

First, I don't know what schools are in GA.. if u do a search for colleges in Atlanta (online)..u will find a list..Are u wanting RN or LPN.. LPN is full time days..RN offers classes @ different times.. Find a college and then talk to someone in their admissions office about requirements. At the college here, it goes like this. They admit based on GPA...u enter college, take some gen ed like English, Math, etc. then u apply for the program..It's very competitve..so highest GPA gets in.. once u are accepted into the RN program..they will guide u from there. u will take classes and do rotations in sophomore year I think.. Each college is different.. so it would be hard to tell you for sure what to expect .. Nursing is VERY hard..I would advise not working full time and getting grants and loans.. when u get into the rotation u will be rotating 8 hours a day..(reg. shift) plus working full time. To start with find a school, start taking your gen ed classes..go from there
