How do i apply if i want to study nursing - Miscellaneous

Being prepared before you start nursing school will help you make better decisions later on.

Admission requirements vary by school and level of degree, but in most cases, you can expect to need an acceptable high school GPA (or equivalent score on the GED) or have good grades from any postsecondary education you've already completed. The more advanced the degree and prestigious the program, the better your GPA will need to be.

Once you've been accepted into nursing school, the next step is to figure out how to pay for it. Start by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Using your current financial and family situations, the FAFSA determines which government assistance you qualify for, including loans, grants, and work-study.

Beyond that, scholarships are a great way to fill in any gaps in funding. You can find awards that are available to all kinds of students, as well as others designed for those with certain specialties, backgrounds, cultural identities, and more.

Find a school that you want to apply to. Check with the admissions office for applications and necessary paperwork. Sometimes nursing schools within a college have their own application and selection process. Research the course work and get an idea of what is involved.
My mom went back to school in her mid-40s and became a nurse. She worked for 20 yrs and loved it. Good luck.
