What classes should you take in high school in order to go to college for nursing?
Preparing for Nursing School
Most nursing schools want entering freshman to have a 3.0 GPA or higher, depending on the school. Keep that in mind. In regards to classes you need to take, focus on the sciences (especially biology, anatomy and chemistry), the social sciences such as psychology or sociology, and math such as statistics and calculus. When you enter nursing school, you will have to take classes (and eventually clinicals) in multiple areas of the nursing field, not just the area you think you may be interested in. The college wants its graduates to be well rounded and have knowledge of all areas of the field. You will find which area you are most interested in through your classes and clinicals as well as any nursing related jobs you have during your time in school.
