Among nurse educators, arguments continue about the ideal balance of practical preparation and the need to educate the future practitioner to manage healthcare and to have a broader view of the practice. To meet both requirements, nurse education aims to develop a lifelong learner who can adapt effectively to changes in both the theory and practice of nursing.

Nurse education consists in the theorical and practical training provided to nurses with the purpose to prepare them for their duties as nursing care professionals. This education is provided to nursing students by experienced nurses and other medical professionals who have qualified or experienced for educational tasks. Most countries offer nurse education courses that can be relevant to general nursing or to specialized areas including mental health nursing, pediatric nursing and post-operatory nursing. Courses leading to autonomous registration as a nurse typically last four years. Nurse education also provides post-qualification courses in specialist subjects within nursing.

start with a 2 year college andget your basics like math, english, communications etc... ( make sure these are transferabble to a 4 year college)... there are some 2 year college programs for nursing so you can get it done in like 3 years but they are really hard on the gpa's///


you can go to a trade school to be a medical assistant or a surgical tech( which is better money) but med assts do not make any where near a nurses income

go to college and study they make a lot of money your on the rite track

UM IDK MUCH BUT MY MOM WENT TO COLLEGE!!!

I would recommend going to a four year program at a college or university as opposed to a two year program. Once you decide where you want to go to school, go and take a tour. The person who takes you around will usually be someone from the major you are interested in. They can give you alot of helpful advice as well as point you in the right direction to an academic advisor. There is usually a list of every class you need to take and a basic order they recommend. If your high school offers any medical terminology classes, or health careers classes that will give you a little taste of what is to come. The red cross also does a Certified Nursing Assistant class that will give you alot of insight into whether nursing is for you, and alot of nursing programs require you to have been to the class, that might be a good idea for your summer if you're really serious about being a nurse. An Apprenticeship? You may be able to set up something with your high school like a co-op where you could shadow a nurse, but it isnt something that is required.
