If you do not have a degree at this time, I would strongly advise you choose a college or university degree. Many community colleges offer an associates degree in nursing, or you can choose a four year college or university. It will also give you the opportunity to seek advanced degrees at a later time should you decide to do so. In addition, a nursing degree from a college or university will make you much more marketable, an will be of great benefit in terms of promotions and higher positions within the workforce.

Can you get into nursing college after high school graduation for example uic and also if you can be admitted do you spend your first one or two years taking pre-nursing courses?

Yes, you can get accepted into a college with a nursing program after high school graduation. The amount of time you spend in college depends on which school and degree program you choose. For example, my mom went to a 2 year community college, got a degree in nursing, and became a registered nurse. If you have the time and money, you can go to a 4 year university and get a BSN. That is a bachelor of science degree in nursing. The demand for nurse is high, so you will have plenty of career option either way. You are still a registered nurse after you complete the exams, regardless of which path you choose.
