How can I prepare for a nursing program now, and how do I figure out which graduate school is right for me later? ?

I'm a senior in high school currently doing full-time dual enrollment at Valencia College, and I’ll be graduating soon with my associate’s degree. I plan to apply to UCF’s BSN program and eventually pursue a master’s degree to become a pediatric nurse practitioner. I’ve been volunteering at places like Give Kids The World and a Sunday school, and I’ve realized I really enjoy working with kids and helping others. Right now, I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to be prepared for nursing school. At the same time, I’m already thinking ahead and wondering—how do I figure out which graduate school will be the best fit for my career goals in pediatric nursing? I’d appreciate any advice from someone who’s been through it or is on a similar path!

If you're starting the BSN program and know what area you want to work in. Start one step at a time, get into the program, start the BSN program and while you're in there you'll be exposed to different area of nursing and be able to network with other people in the field. Once you finished the BSN program you can start looking into graduate school and choose one that align with your values and specialty of interest. Some graduate school require you start working in the field before pursuing a graduate as well, but it will depends on the school itself.

The best way to get ready is to keep doing what you're doing. Stay positive and motivated, and don't let anyone or anything get in the way of your goals. You know yourself well, so focus on your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Take things one day at a time, and you'll definitely succeed!
