 Hi guys, so today I want to do a video on what you could take in high school to better prepare you for college slash nursing school. I get asked this question a lot. A lot of you are sophomores, juniors, seniors in high school and you're wondering what can I take now to help me when I actually go into nursing because you know you want to do nursing and you want to am I boring you? You just had to sniff my hair and you want to be better prepared for nursing school which I think is awesome. So I want to talk about some classes that you could take. So I think one of the best things you can do if it's offered at your high school is take classes that you know are going to be offered for your actual nursing degree. So if your high school offers college level classes or you can get college credit then take those if they correlate with your nursing degree. So like your English 101 or 102, your basic maths, I think for most nursing schools you have to go up to pre-calculus. Don't quote me but I know at least for my degree I had to at least have up to pre-calc. So take classes where you can earn high school credit and college credit. I know another one that I had to take was statistics. I had to take chemistry and there was a lot of courses that I took in high school that I got college credit for but there were some that I took in high school that it wasn't offered for college credit and I ended up basically retaking them again in college. Any of your science courses are going to be really beneficial in nursing school. So your chemistry, your biology, your anatomy, physiology, I wish if I could go back I wish that my last year in high school that I didn't take calculus and that I took like anatomy and physiology. I don't really regret it but I think it would have been a better transition into college so to speak because like I don't use calculus at all. Like I'm pretty sure I forgot everything but I mean it's still beneficial because you're exercising your brain and you're thinking outside the box and all that but yeah anything that you can earn college credit for in high school is wonderful if that's offered if not again taking those sciences your English your maths. Another great thing that I recommend you look into is a lot of big high schools offer like a cna program on top of high school like where maybe your last class of the day you're studying to be a cna or you take an extra class at the end of the day to study to become a cna so that way like you could get your cna while you're in high school possibly be working and then when you get out of high school you can be working as a cna while preparing for nursing school which is going to be great experience great exposure. I know not all high school offer that but I know a lot of them do so that's another great thing to look into so those are some of my tips for high schoolers that know you want to do nursing. Again these are just my kind of personal I guess opinions and advice but you should enjoy your time in high school because really once you get to college you're going to have to take all the classes anyway but if you're one of those people which I know I was that wants to get ahead and be prepared those are some things that you can do if you guys have any other tips or advice leave those in the comments below give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you next time bye
