How do I go about becoming an elementary school Registered Nurse?

We Answered:

Some schools will hire LPNs, but yes, most hire RNs, and it's better to have a BSN above an associates degree because in a BSN program you will get a Public / Community Health course, which is important when working with a population such as students.

There are no additional requirements, you only need to have your RN license.

How do i become a registered nurse in a school environment?

We Answered:

You need to get a degree in nursing, as an R.N. That's the only way you can be an elementary school nurse. However, some schools hire nurses aide to staff the school clinic. These jobs require a specific amount of college work, but not a nursing degree. It depends on which job you want.

Gail Said:

can a nurse practitioner student still work as a registered nurse while in school?

We Answered:

Ask your instructor or your local hospital or the Doc you work under
I cannot see a problem with it

Eleanor Said:

What classes in High School should i take to become a Registered Nurse?

We Answered:

As for classes, life science classes like biology, advanced biology, and things like anatomy (if available) will be most helpful. You cannot have too many science courses!
Also, chemistry and advanced chemistry are helpful. Math courses are essential - because math is not my strongest subject I stopped with geometry, but if there is more available, it would not hurt. Geometry is a minimum.
Different schools have different admission policies. Try going to some school sites you are interested in attending and check - 3.0 is probably a good MINIMUM guide.
Basic courses in nursing schools include things like chemistry, psychology, pharmacology (drugs), English, and sociology.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for someone to become an LPN in one semester, especially a summer semester. I am not sure if your state's Nurse Practice Act has a minimum practice age, but it might. A typical LPN program lasts between 1-2 years.

I wish you the best; if you have any questions, feel free to email me! We need good nurses!

Elizabeth Said:

Has anyone gone from being a Registered Nurse to a Doctor? does it take much longer after nursing school?

We Answered:

Hey there! Good for you for thinking about becoming a pedatrician! yes, you just have to apply for med school and go from there. However, might I suggest that you become a PA. That's an extra 2 or three years of school and you'll just have to apply to a graduate program! Good luck in whatever you decide :)
