Will I have to go back to school to complete my education to become a nurse? And do I need NCEA levels one two and three? Also what subjects at school will i have to take? I left school last year as I didn't know what I was doing but now I want to be a nurse. I'm 17 going 18. Is it too late?

Help me make a future for myself.

Of course you will have to go back to school to become a nurse. And 17 or 18 is not too late at all. There are 40 yr olds and beyond enrolled in nursing programs as we speak.

Did you leave HS or college? If you left HS, it's pertinent that you go back and receive your diploma or GED.

If you left college, then enroll again. Declare yourself a pre-nursing or nursing major (whatever your school of choice offers) and speak with a counselor.

You will need a good number of these classes:

-English Comp I and II

-Math (Algebra or statistics or some sort)

-Anatomy & Physiology I and II

-Biology

-Microbiology

-Chemistry

(though depending on the program, you may or may not need as many science classes as listed)

-Nutrition

-Psychology

-Sociology

-Abnormal Psych

-Lifespan/Develop Psych

-Nursing classes
