There may be a lot of opportunity in the nursing field, but finding the right nursing degree and specialty for you is the first step toward a rewarding nursing career.
Get into the nursing program you're interested in, go to college, take the NCLEX and pass it. Viola! You're a nurse!
There are typically three options. An associates of science degree in nursing (two year degree), a bachelor's of science degree in nursing (BSN, four year degree), and an accredited diploma program which is usually a hospital based program. If you do not have a degree at present, I strongly advise you do not take a diploma program.
For me, and my nursing school, our nursing school is the same thing as the nursing program...the program is the curriculum...the actual classes that we take...and the school is just another name. For example I applied to the Presbyterian School of Nursing at Queens University of Charlotte, in Charlotte, NC and when I got in they said "Welcome to our nursing program." Its the same thing.
Typically, a nursing program at the associates level is an AS, not an AA.

Yes, you do NOT need any experience in the field of nursing to go to nursing school. However, all nursing school's require different undergrad prerequisites and there is most always a GPA requirement. After you have selected a nursing school you'd like to aim for, make an appointment with an adviser in the program or look on-line for the school's Nursing Degree Plan. On the plan the required prerequisites should be listed. In selected nursing school prerequisite classes you will need to earn either an A or B to be seriously considered for acceptance into the program.
