First, you need to get a degree in nursing. You can get either a 2 yr nursing degree from a community college or a 4 year degree in nursing from a university. You can go to trade school to become an LPN, but you really need a 2 year degree as an RN from a community college. Contact your local community college for course work info.
Every 2 year nursing program requires some course work in science (physical, chemistry and life sciences) as well as basic course work in medical education (like a CPR class, advanced first aid, nutrition, psychology and medical terminology) and advanced math classes like algebra, geometry and trigonometry.
They may also require you to complete some classes in English, basic keyboarding (if unable to type whatever minimum they have set) reading classes (if unable to read at a college level) and writing classes-and pass each course with the minimum grade the nursing program has deemed-that has to be met before your formally accepted into the nursing program.
Program requirements to enter the nursing program vary widely based on the school and any coursework they deem you need to take.
The required course work needed before one is allowed entry into the nursing program assures a higher success rate and a higher graduation rate for students in the nursing program.
Once you successfully completed the nursing program-consider completing course work to become a Certified Emergency Room Nurse. Either the nursing school you completed your course work in or the American Association of Critical Care Nurses can help you find course work to earn the certification. It may not be required to be hired by a hospital, but it will show you have completed advanced coursework that will set you apart from other nurses.
Once hired in an ER room, never stop learning. Take continuing education classes related to your job. Many schools offer RN-to-BSN (bachlor of science-nursing) all the way through master of science in Nursing (MSN) programs for nurses with associate's degrees. Many hosptials offer tuiation assisantce and scholarships for nurse's wanting to further their education.
