Depends on where you live and what the competition is like. According to discovernursing.com, there are three schools in Texas where there is no waiting list.

I would recommend becoming a CNA. It will help with nursing related experience and if you can handle the dirty, back breaking work, then you can handle nursing.

Best of luck.

Nursing is a brilliant job, I have met many wonderful nurses in my life, both ladies and gents. My daughter stumbled upon some brilliant instruction about it on the resource in the box below, and now she is in her initial term of training.

They're pretty good, even better if you're a dude. Get a good SAT score too, and you're set.
