First off, let me say that, aside from a couple of electives and 2 (each) English/Global credits, I’m pretty much done with my Advanced Regents Diploma credits (I took honors courses starting in Middle school, so I’m, for the most part, a year ahead.) I would like to pursue a career in health care, most likely and RN (In Hospice, perhaps?)
As a junior and senior (I’m a sophomore, planning my schedule right now.), I can take a half-school-day (4 of 8 periods) class (BOCES Vo-Tech, if you’re familiar with it.) that will end in me getting a (free!) Nurse Assisting Certification (therefore, depending upon what my not-really-considered,-to-be-honest college life looks like, a pretty decent job), lots of science/English credits, and, from what I’ve been told, something that looks really good on College apps. (Plus, it would give me two years to figure out if this is even the kind of work I want to do, and no commitment if I want to leave after a semester.)
This would be in addition to my AR diploma (I’d do regular classes for the other half of the day, obviously.)
My only dilemma is whether it would be a better move to just load up on regular classes. Here are my courses for next year (Keep in mind that I have another year after this, that’s even more open… I’ll only HAVE TO take 1 class as a senior, so anything I don’t take next year, I can do as a Senior.), according to my (rather unhelpful, actually) guidance counselor (classes I’ll definitely be taking, regardless, have an asterisk by them):
-Honors English*
-US History*
-French*
-Gym/Human Anatomy* (Alternating – every other day.)
-Typing
-Forensics (I don’t know. She just plopped me in there. I hear it’s an easy A, though…)
-College Alg. (Def. Taking this one at some point in the next 2 years.)
-Piano (I’m currently in the beginner class and love it.)

I also did research on LPNs and so I read that you can have a high school diploma.. Do you thik that is my best bet then?
i want to be an lpn when i graduate but i am probably going to go to tech school. i need to know wether or not i can change to prep tech or not.
I need advice to follow for when I finally graduated high school in one year.
I just received my GED, so now i am enrolled in a community college. What do i need to do to become an RN? i know i need to obtain a BSN, but i’m not sure HOW that works.
Also, I know i need to finish my prereqs, but what do i do after my two years at a community college to become an RN?..
note- plan on going to University of Washington after c.c.
I’m a sophomore in high school and planning on either going to BYU or the U of U. I’m thinking seriously about becoming a registered nurse, and I was wondering if there are any classes in high school that I can take, or online college courses that I can do so I can get a head start in college in becoming an RN?
I’m not totally squemish and I’m ok with a little blood. Should I still attempt to take the training classes?
im hoping to become doctor ( general surgery maybe?) and im hoping to go to medical school after highschool, though im still in high school right now. i was hoping that i could work as a RN part time while in college and also that being a certified RN would give me an edge in applying for college. is it possible? if not RN then maybe CNA???
If I don’t have a high school diploma and at the same time I want to became an lpn what schools or steps to take?
