Wanting to go to school.

[mortrn7]

I want to become an RN badly, actually I'd love to be a flight nurse. But at 21, I'm a little scared of failing. I know now is the perfect time, no marriage or kids but I'm didn't make straight A's in school and I'm no genius but I'm willing to give it my all. Any idea on the average pass rate for schools or even the school you went to? Also, how does one become a flight nurse?

Thanks!

hi just wanted to say that i understand how u feel i too want to be an RN badly and am currently pursuing that.Waiting to see if i am accepted for september.I came out of high school with one certificate and had to go adult school to obtain more. Have exams in june hope i pass as i really want to go to nursing school.I am married and have two kids at 24 and i am pursuing my dream and you should too especially as you have no responsibilities yet.Dont know the average pass rate where your from as i'm from the caribbean.Hope someone post the answer your looking for.Just wanted to lend you my support and a friendly push afterall you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.Know it wont be easy but there are many people who have lots of responsiblity and who have done it and many more who are doing it now like me so JUST DO IT!

Where I teach we have a pretty good success rate on NCLEX. We usually have 50-60 students start out in a class and by the last semester (ADN program) there are about 35 left and usually they all pass the class. 3 haven't passed NCLEX of those 35 the last 2 years. There are schools all of the time who go on probation from the state board for low pass rates. You can ask at the school you go to what their class pass rate is and what their NCLEX pass rate is and also if they are accredited or on any type of probation
