Do i need to take a GED?

[sarcasemm 0]

Hi! I really need help. 

I’m currently in Dallas and we don’t know what to do. I’m 19, I finished high school in the Philippines last 2015 and a semester of College at FEU. 

 

Now we don’t know what to do.

Should I just take a GED even if I have my high school diploma? 

 

Hope someone could help us shed light on this matter.

1.  What is your current status in the US?

2.  What are your career goals?

You do not need the GED as this is for someone who never completed high school and you have

I don't see why you would get a GED. What would be the reason? If you want a career that requires college go check into it at local colleges and see what their requirements are.

To be a Registered Nurse in USA it only takes 2 year training and can be done at a community college or vocational School

 

LVN is only one year.

Then go look into nursing programs and find out what the requirements will be.

Great.  Nursing is a wonderful field....I am a retired Registered Nurse myself......It is a very, very rewarding career.  and there are so many different areas in which you could practice.

Your high school diploma will be recognized. You may or may not even get some of your coursework in your semester of college recognized as well but that is all dependent on the University's review of your college coursework

Thank you! I’m going to call the community college and ask them about requirements.

Give it a year or two when the projected 1.2M nurse shortage kicks in

That is one of the reasons I entered Nursing after I retired from the military.  Nurses can find work anywhere in the country.  I was fortunate to work in several areas.....Labor and Delivery, Home health, Psych (Adolescent & Adult) , Surgical Services, and IT.......and those are only a few of the areas available.......
