I sat out of school for a while, but I'm going back in Jan. I was there for a year, got married, divorced, and now I'm going back in Jan. I was majoring in biology my 1st year. I'll still be going back for biology and I was thinking about going into dentistry as a profession, but right now I'm undecided. For the most part though, this is a very interesting thread. I'll be asking a lot of questions.

A co-worker of mine was going to school for nursing. She said it was a two year program. Does it depend on what kind of nurse you want to be, or does it matter?

To be a practical nurse you take a 2 year college course but to be a registered nurse you take a 4 year university course. Then you can go ont to get your masters etc

Actually, you can get RN certification after two years of studying at, say, a community college. If you get a bachelors degree in nursing, you get a BSN but you still need to pass a test to get an RN.
Sort of like if someone graduates with an engineering degree, they still have to take their professional engineering exam to get a license.

I don't think it was a community college she went to. When I see her, I'll have to ask. I'm positive she said it was two years though.
