Is community college classes good?
Hi there. First, being an RN is a wonderful career choice. Good luck in pursuing your dreams. Second, taking junior college classes in high school is a great idea if you can handle the work load. You will get college credit before starting “real college”, which is very nice. And you will have some college experience which will help make you less nervous when you graduate high school. Even if you can’t take junior college classes while still in high school, you would probably benefit from taking classes at a JC the summer after you graduate. Junior College classes are a lot less expensive than classes at a university, and they count towards your degree (plus, they are usually a little easier so they might help give you a high GPA which will help with getting into nursing school.) To be an RN you should look into classes like Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology. All of these classes are relevant to medicine. Most of them are required before you start a “nursing program”.
