If you are in the US you will need to have a GED or equivalency diploma because you will generally need this to apply to most 2 year nursing programs. You can get this by contacting your local board of education or your nearest high school can direct you in the right direction. However, sometimes you can get accepted to a community college without a GED or diploma based on various tests you can take through the college. You should contact a community college in your area that offers a nursing program and inquire. Additionally, if there is a BOCES near you, some of them offer a practical nursing diploma program that is even more affordable than going to a community college. Not sure if money is an issue but getting a practical nursing diploma can be a quick and inexpensive step (often 14 months) to getting into a nursing career as you would be eligible to take the NCLEX exam to be an LPN. Also, if you are not fluent in English, that may be another issue as you would have to take an English class regardless of which nursing program you entered.
I am not sure if you are a resident in the US but if so, there are a lot of programs and assistance out there to help with education costs. Any college can point you in the right direction. If you live near a BOCES, you really should check them out. I'm in New York state and there are many here.
Good luck to you
To be a registered nurse means you have met the qualifications and requirements of the association that is registering you. It is possible to attend university without a high school diploma - in fact, many adults have done just that by writing and equivalency entrance exam.
Your English sounds pretty good - certainly fluent enough to handle course work. Go to your nearest university and ask about the program, what you have to do to enter, and what it will cost. Or, go to your nearest hospital and ask the personnel department what qualifications they require.
Some hospitals are teaching hospitals, and you can earn your diploma while you work. But as you have given no indication of where you live, that's not information I can provide. Check out your local hospitals and your local universities or colleges.
good luck in your ambition.
