Comment on What courses and degrees would I need to do to become a childrens nurse? by Mimkat

At the moment you have the choice of doing a nursing diploma or a nursing degree, obviously child branch. From September 2013 only the degree will be on offer. Some uni’s have already dropped the diploma & many won’t be offering after this Septembers intake.

For the diploma you will need 5 GCSE’s at grade C & above. Most uni’s ask that the GCSE’s include Maths & English & some are asking for Science as well.

For the degree you will need the GCSE’s plus 2 A-levels. Science, Psychology & Sociology are recommended the A-levels.

If you don’t have the required GCSE’s and/or A-levels then Access courses are also acceptable as an alternative.

You may find these websites useful. The first one has a great forum for advice on uni’s, applications, personal statements, finance etc.

If you want an associates, community colleges are pretty affordable. If you want a bachelors, check into state schools (cheaper.)

Or else, you can always start off taking nursing pre-req classes at a community college and then transfer elsewhere to get a bachelors in nursing degree.

Look around at the tuition of schools near you on the college’s webpage.

Since your score wasn’t high enough I would go ahead and take the classes…….You will need these courses ONCE YOU DO get accepted into the LPN or the RN program anyway.

Is it that your math isn’t strong enough yet? I’d suspect so, if you’re starting out in beginning Algebra. Colleges normally have to make you wait to take certain classes until you reach a certain level of math and English.

And that’s the one thing I don’t see on your schedule - Freshman English. If you’re required to take that, or if you placed too low and need to take other English classes first, make sure you get started on those!

You need to apply for a nursing program. Depending on which one (LPN, ADN or BSRN) will determine the length of the program and what pre-reqs you need to take. Search on line for nursing schools in your area.

Comment on Does community colleges provide nursing degrees?? or degrees at all? by PE2008

Perhaps you’re confused about the requirements for being an RN (Registered Nurse). You can get an AA/AS "degree" in Community College that will allow you to take the exams for RN licensure.

Alternately, you can also be "in residence" in a hospital for ~3 years and get a certificate/diploma and take state exams for RN licensure. (The hospital route to RN nursing is the traditional way , but is no longer popular).

The third way to RN nursing is to take a BSN degree from a college/university, but for many nurses this "academic" route is too difficult and is unnecessary.

Community College provide 2 year "Associates" degrees that are meant to give you some skills to qualify for a job. The best thing for you to do is just look at the web site of the nearest community college to where you live and it will tell you plenty about these schools.
