I want to start a nursing career with just a high school diploma. I don't want to take any basic college?

classes that don't lead me directly into the nursing field. I might be willing to take them later on for advancement. Right now I want on the job training in nursing withiout college. Once I get hired doing something in the job field, I will continue my education. YOu see, I work full time and have a family. What do I need to do to get the ball rolling? I just don't have time right now for algebra, but I definitely need a better job. Anyone help?

You have to be licensed to be a nurse. In order for that to happen, you have to at least have an associate of applied science in nursing and then pass the NCLEX licensing exam.
You canNOT work as a nurse without a license. 2yrs is the minimum amount of time to complete a RN degree. I believe it can take just 18mths to be a licensed practical nurse (LPN).

If you like, you can become a nurse aide with a simple class and certificate of completion. This position would include assisting nurses with direct patient care. Bathing, changing briefs, feeding, assisting patients to the bathroom, and changing bed linens would be the tasks most performed.

Nobody will hire a nurse without training. Go to school like all the other future nurses.

A actual nurse has almost as much schooling as an actual doctor, which requires many years of college. You can be a nursing assistant which does not require any college, but you will be doing much of the dirty work like wiping old peoples back sides.

I don't think that there are any jobs that will do that. Generally to perform medical tasks you need some formal education.

There is no such thing as on the job training to be a nurse. To get the ball rolling you could take a Nurses Aid course. It only takes a few weeks to become certified. In the hospital where I work, you get hired when you finish the course. From there you can take classes for advancement to LPN or RN while you are working. In some areas of the country Nurses Aids are now called Patient Care Assistants

Sorry, there is just now way around those basic classes. Nurses need to have a very good foundation in the sciences before they can learn how to give proper nursing care. They aren't just the doctor's hand-maid like some people seem to think. If you want a quick start, do it one step at a time- CNA, LPN, RN, BSN. Look into programs at your local college, and an advisor will tell you what classes you need to take.

Sounds like the best thing for you is what is known as diploma nursing. These programs are offered by hospitals who operate their own schools of nursing. You take your classes and do your clinical work at the hospital. Check out local hospitals in your area for such programs or do a web search for diploma nursing programs.

JUST GO TO SCHOOL. I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE NO ONE WILL HIRE YOU AND TRAIN YOU TO BE A NURSE AT THE SAME TIME. AND GESS WHAT, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO A HOSPITAL OR DOCTORS OFFICE THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO BE ON THEIR STAFF UNTRAINED. GOOD LUCK.

LOL, nobody in their right mind would let you have direct patient care without some type of formal education. Period. There is no such thing as "on the job training" to become a NURSE. Nurses (and generally 98% of other clinical staff) have college educations and tons of knowledge that is required for them to do their jobs. Your only option would be to become a CNA through a 4 week program. You have to take prerequist courses to become a nurse, respiratory therapist, phelbotimist, etc. If you have to continue working full time there is no way you can do the clinical program for RN or LPN. It's way hard and you have to get good grades or they'll kick you out of the program.

If I understand your question correctly, you do not want to take general education classes. Is that right? I looked at an LPN program at a local community college here and they only have 3 prereqs: Human Anatomy and Physiology, Introduction to Psychology, and Fundamentals of Mathematics. If you absolutely don't want to take any, I guess CNA but the pay isn't very good.
