The requirements for becoming a nurse depend on several factors. The state you live in, the "type" of nurse you want to be. There are R.N.'s (registered nurse) which requires more schooling and training, and L.V.N. or L.P.N (lisenced vocational/practical nurse). I am an L.P.N. and my schooling took about 18 months. You must have at least a high school diploma and you must pass certain entrance exam repuirements. There are usually many applicants for a limited number of slots available. I do not make as much money as an R.N. and in some states my level of practice is limited, which means you may be required to take additional courses to become "certified". For example, in Texas, I had no limitations on my scope of practice. I drew blood, gave blood infusions, hung intravenous medications, and in Arizona I must complete additional courses and get "certification" for drawing blood. I don't believe that I can give iv medications nor give blood infusions. To make this long answer short, if you want to become a nurse, think about it very hard. There is a high burn out. In my class of 41 students, 17 graduated. It gets even harder after that. If you like hard work, long hours, immense responsibility and liability, become an R.N. This is not a field to go into for the money, you MUST be seriously drawn to humanitarian motives.

It depends mainly on the college you attend. You will probably take the following classes: English I, English II, College Algebra, World History, US History, 2 science classes, Literature, Political Science, Economics, Speech, Accounting I, Accounting II, Environment of Business, and some electives.

* HM is the navy term. You have to score so high on your test you take at meps, and that will bring up the jobs you can pick from.

You do not receive an "honours degree." Any degree you receive may be give plain or "with honours." Such an honours degree is given for those with the highest grades. These are the degrees given "cum laude" (with praise) or "summa cum laude" (with highest praise).

Yes, it is. Associate Degrees from the USA are academic in origin and are equivalent to the Diploma of Higher Education and the Higher National Diplomas awarded in the UK. Two years of full-time study makes up a US Associate's degree and this counts as two whole years towards a US Bachelors degree. The material studied for an Associate Degree is a lot harder than Scottish Highers and marginally harder than English A-Levels. If you transfer as an undergraduate to a British University after completing a US Associate Degree, you will most likely find the first year of study quite easy.

That depends on the state. At least a 4 year college degree and a Masters are mandatory. A Masters can be one or two years. And then there is a requisite for supervised professional practice hours, generally 2000-3000 hours with 200-300 hours of supervision. After that is completed, you need to sit for a licensure exam. And after you pass the exam and get licensed, there is a requisite number of CEUs to take per license year and/or certification period. All told, you're looking at 5-6 years of school, and 2 years of professional service before you are eligible to sit for the exam...and many -- actually most -- don't pass the exam on the first time round. I had one social worker who worked for me, and was quite good at her job, fail it 6 times...that's 3 years, as it was bi-yearly. The CEUs are on-going for as long as you maintain your license. It's generally 15-30 credits per year. but then aqain you have to pass it the first time because who wants to do another 3 years of college and its already tough.so just pass it the first time. thank you for your time
four years

It depends upon the requirements of the agency and/or the state in which the person wishes be employed. Generally one would need at least a Bachelor (BS) in Social Science or a Master's (MSW) in social work, or something similar.

You can get a degree in communications or media, but you can work in television while getting your degree. To see what I mean, read the article links. Hope this helps.

Associate degrees fall into three main areas. * Associates of Arts (AA) * Associates of Science (AS) * Associates of Applied Science (AAS) Each of the above degrees is designed to be completed after two years of study. However to complete the degree within two years, the student must take the program as prescribed within the schools curriculum layout. In addition, most every Community College requires that every incoming student be placement tested before they register for their first semester (unless they fall into an exemption category). This test is not an Admissions Test and has no bearing on a student's acceptance to the college. In fact, students are already accepted to the school before they take the test. It is not a test that is passed or failed, but simply to determine whether an individual needs to take some refresher courses before entering the college level courses. This is to ensure the student has the appropriate basic skills to succeed at the college level. The test is broken down into four parts; two parts English and two parts Mathematics. The English includes Grammar (sentence sense), and Reading Comprehension. The Math includes Computation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, square roots, and percentages), and the equivalent of a high school Algebra I. If the student scores low in any these areas, then they will be required to enroll in the indicated remedial course/s starting with their first semester. Thus, the two year degree plan may turn into a two and a half year, or possibly a three year plan depending on how much remedial work is needed. To limit this time, students have the option to enroll in summer session courses. Now let us look at the inherent differences between the degrees: Associates of Arts (AA) The Associates of arts is really designed as a fully transferable degree to a four year college or university for those pursing a Bachelors degree. It serves to complete most of the four year institutions general education cluster area, which amounts to the first two years of a four year program. It also serves to complete any perquisite courses needed for the four year institutions curriculum major and minor requirements. Students are admitted to Junior level status provided they have completed the matching associate's level degree. In other words, Business AA to Business BA, Engineering AS, to Engineering AS etc. Thus, within this degree students will be required to have a well rounded educational foundation to include, English literature, history, social science, laboratory science, humanities, math, communications, etc. These courses are in addition to the student's major field of study. Associates of Science (AS) Within the AS degrees a student will notice there are less general education requirements, and more career oriented course work. You will find this in curriculums to include, Nursing, Engineering, some Computer Science and Allied Heath fields. Still, these programs should be fully transferable to four year institutions provided the degree matches that of the four year college or university's program of study, as mentioned above under AA degrees. Associates in Applied Science (AAS) The AAS degrees are very career oriented and designed to give the student all the expertise needed for entry level positions upon completion of the degree. Therefore, the student will notice most of the AAS degree is made up of professional phase courses particular to a specific field, and a very limited number of general education courses. This has promoted the myth, that all AAS degrees are not transferable to four year colleges and universities. I will admit, as the degree was originally designed; transferability was not the original intent of this type of degree. Therefore many AAS degree fields of study did not transfer to four year institutions very well. In fact, in some categories it was almost like starting over. Today this is not so. Community Colleges today have what is known as Joint Admissions or Dual Admissions articulations with four year institutions, where if the student completes the agreed upon program of study successfully, the four year institution will take the degree full faith in credit and grant the student Junior level status. This includes AAS degrees. However, it is strongly recommended that a student who is seeking to transfer to a four year institution at a later date, make an appointment with a Transfer Counselor at the Community College for the pros and cons of AAS transfer as well as and more detailed information.

There are community colleges that offer an associate in applied science as a physical therapy assistant. This would take approximately two years to complete as a full-time student. However, this type of degree is by in large a terminal degree. If you decide to transfer to another college or university almost none of the coursework will transfer. Thus, make very sure this is what you want to do. If you wish to continue your education in the future - for example - to become a physical therapist, or to obtain a bachelor's degree in any other area, then understand this might not be your best choice. That being said, if this is what you truly want to do and understand what I have stated in the above, then I can tell you it is a good field to be in especially if you enjoy helping people hands on, and the salary is not bad.

There are three options to become a registered nurse as follows. * diploma program (typically three years, not recommended for individuals who do not have an already existing degree) * associate degree (two years as a full-time student once the student starts the professional phase of the program) * bachelor's degree (BSN) (four years as a full-time student) For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section (U.S. Department of Labor) indicated at the bottom of this answer box.

To become governor of Ohio, a candidate must be a qualifed elector in the state. This means that any candidate for governor must be at least 18 years old at the time of his/her election, a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days before the election, and a U.S. citizen. Convicted felons and those deemed by the courts as incompetent to vote are not able to hold the governorship. Unlike most states that require their chief executives to be at least 30 years old at the time of their election, Ohio is one of six states that only require the governor to be 18.

Following the traditional path of education within the United States, you would be approximately 14 as a freshman in high school, and approximately 18 as a freshman in the first semester of college.

Do you mean majors, or fields of study, or types of bachelor degrees, masters...? If you mean majors or bachelor degrees, general lists can be found in college prep books (from the library, etc.). However, different colleges have different terminology and offerings, so it would be best to check with individual schools, as well. For example, my major in college was technically "Human Development and Family Processes" but my undergradute degree is listed as "Individual and Family Studies" and my title is a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources. You may have to check severla places to get the full picture - I don't know of one place that complies every single type of degree.

To practice law in the courts of any State or other jurisdiction, a person must be licensed, or admitted to its bar, under rules established by the jurisdiction's highest court. All States require that applicants for admission to the bar pass a written bar examination; most States also require applicants to pass a separate written ethics examination. Lawyers who have been admitted to the bar in one State occasionally may be admitted to the bar in another without taking an examination if they meet the latter jurisdiction's standards of good moral character and a specified period of legal experience. In most cases, however, lawyers must pass the bar examination in each State in which they plan to practice. Federal courts and agencies set their own qualifications for those practicing before or in them.

To qualify for the bar examination in most States, an applicant usually must earn a college degree and earn a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or the proper State authorities. ABA accreditation signifies that the law school-particularly its library and faculty-meets certain standards developed to promote quality legal education. As of 2005, there were 191 ABA-accredited law schools; others were approved by State authorities only. With certain exceptions, graduates of schools not approved by the ABA are restricted to taking the bar examination and practicing in the State or other jurisdiction in which the school is located; most of these schools are in California. In 2005, seven States-California, Maine, New York, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming-accepted the study of law in a law office as qualification for taking the bar examination; three jurisdictions-California, the District of Columbia, and New Mexico-now accept the study of law by correspondence. Several States require registration and approval of students by the State Board of Law Examiners, either before the students enter law school or during their early years of legal study.

Although there is no nationwide bar examination, 48 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands require the 6-hour Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) as part of the overall bar examination; the MBE is not required in Louisiana or Washington. The MBE covers a broad range of issues, and sometimes a locally prepared State bar examination is given in addition to it. The 3-hour Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) is used as part of the bar examination in several States. States vary in their use of MBE and MEE scores.

Many States also require Multistate Performance Testing (MPT) to test the practical skills of beginning lawyers. Requirements vary by State, although the test usually is taken at the same time as the bar exam and is a one-time requirement.

The required college and law school education usually takes 7 years of full-time study after high school-4 years of undergraduate study, followed by 3 years of law school. Law school applicants must have a bachelor's degree to qualify for admission. To meet the needs of students who can attend only part time, a number of law schools have night or part-time divisions, which usually require 4 years of study; about 1 in 10 graduates from ABA-approved schools attended part time.

Although there is no recommended "prelaw" major, prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically-skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the profession. Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful. Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting.

Acceptance by most law schools depends on the applicant's ability to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of law, usually through good undergraduate grades, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the quality of the applicant's undergraduate school, any prior work experience, and sometimes, a personal interview. However, law schools vary in the weight they place on each of these and other factors.

All law schools approved by the ABA require applicants to take the LSAT. Nearly all law schools require applicants to have certified transcripts sent to the Law School Data Assembly Service, which then submits the applicants' LSAT scores and their standardized records of college grades to the law schools of their choice. Both this service and the LSAT are administered by the Law School Admission Council. Competition for admission to many law schools-especially the most prestigious ones-generally is intense, with the number of applicants greatly exceeding the number that can be admitted.

During the first year or year and a half of law school, students usually study core courses, such as constitutional law, contracts, property law, torts, civil procedure, and legal writing. In the remaining time, they may elect specialized courses in fields such as tax, labor, or corporate law. Law students often acquire practical experience by participating in school-sponsored legal clinic activities; in the school's moot court competitions, in which students conduct appellate arguments; in practice trials under the supervision of experienced lawyers and judges; and through research and writing on legal issues for the school's law journal.

A number of law schools have clinical programs in which students gain legal experience through practice trials and projects under the supervision of practicing lawyers and law school faculty. Law school clinical programs might include work in legal aid clinics, for example, or on the staff of legislative committees. Part-time or summer clerkships in law firms, government agencies, and corporate legal departments also provide valuable experience. Such training can lead directly to a job after graduation and can help students decide what kind of practice best suits them. Clerkships also may be an important source of financial aid.

In 2004, law school graduates in 52 jurisdictions were required to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), which tests their knowledge of the ABA codes on professional responsibility and judicial conduct. In some States, the MPRE may be taken during law school, usually after completing a course on legal ethics.

Law school graduates receive the degree of Juris Doctor (J.D.). Advanced law degrees may be desirable for those planning to specialize, research, or teach. Some law students pursue joint degree programs, which usually require an additional semester or year of study. Joint degree programs are offered in a number of areas, including law and business administration or public administration.

After graduation, lawyers must keep informed about legal and nonlegal developments that affect their practices. Currently, 40 States and jurisdictions mandate continuing legal education (CLE). Many law schools and State and local bar associations provide continuing education courses that help lawyers stay abreast of recent developments. Some States allow CLE credits to be obtained through participation in seminars on the Internet.

The practice of law involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the respect and confidence of their clients, associates, and the public. Perseverance, creativity, and reasoning ability also are essential to lawyers, who often analyze complex cases and handle new and unique legal problems.

Most beginning lawyers start in salaried positions. Newly hired salaried attorneys usually start as associates and work with more experienced lawyers or judges. After several years of gaining more responsibilities, some lawyers are admitted to partnership in their firm or go into practice for themselves. Some experienced lawyers are nominated or elected to judgeships. (See the section on judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers.) Others become full-time law school faculty or administrators; a growing number of these lawyers have advanced degrees in other fields as well.

Some attorneys use their legal training in administrative or managerial positions in various departments of large corporations. A transfer from a corporation's legal department to another department often is viewed as a way to gain administrative experience and rise in the ranks of management.

It depends on whether you are in a two year or four year college or university. Typically, community colleges require no math other than pharmacology. Four year institutions may require a college algebra, and a statistics course. Pharmacology may be taught as either a stand alone math course, or included within the professional phase nursing courses.

Good communication skills and pleasing personality probably the face.

OB/GYN requires 8 years of school. Four at a general university and Four at medical school. Then you have a four year residency at a hospital but are paid. Once you have finished your residency you take an oral and written test. There are also subspeacilities where each require another 3 year residency if you wish to pursue the subspeacilty. (exp. prenatal oncology, maternal and fetal medicine, etc.)

The school that you want to get the degree from can tell you what the usual time period is,to finish a degree program.
