(votes: 0)


Okay, so I'm a junior in High School and I've wanted to be a R.N. sing i started. I've taken Emergency Procedures, Medical Terminology, Health Science Principles( Part one, but part 2 will be next year due to scheduling problems) and I will be taking M.N.A(Medical Nursing Assistance) next year as a senior( a class only a senior can take). I will be a "completor" in Norton's Health Program. How do i go upon getting into the E.R. as a Nurse when i get out of High School?
1: Get into nursing school2: While in nursing school, try to get your senior practicum/preceptorship in the ER so you get firsthand experience 2b: And/or try to get a job as a PCT/CNA in the ER for experience as well as networking opportunities3: Graduate nursing school4: Pass the NCLEX-RN5: Apply for jobs in the ER. If you're lucky, you'll find a new grad program with an option of going into ER nursing5b: Or if you can't get into the ER as a new grad, apply for med-surg, PCU, stepdown or other areas, get a year or two of RN experience, and then try to transfer to the ERIt's not going to happen overnight: you're looking at a few years' of school and work AFTER high school, so take it a step at a time. The first step is the most important: get into a nursing school--there's no other way to become a nurse.And don't be surprised if you find yourself changing your mind about your specialty...and changing it several times You will experience many different areas in nursing school and you might find yourself considering other options. So aim for the ER but keep an open mind.
