What if I don’t know where to start?
Start with a career that interests you and explore the paths that lead toward it. You don’t need a complete plan to begin.
What is a path?
A path connects one credential to the next, such as CNA to registered nurse. It helps you explore training, experience and programs along the way.
Is this just for nursing?
Nursing school is what we are built for: the CNA or Pre-Nursing start, the prerequisites, and the ADN and BSN applications. A few allied health paths, like respiratory therapy and radiologic technology, use the same steps.
Do I need a certification to get started?
No. You can explore now. Some paths begin with a certificate; others build on credentials you already have. Entry requirements vary by program.
Does following a path mean I’ll get in?
No. A path helps you prepare, but each school sets its own requirements and makes its own admission decisions.
Is EduNurse free to use?
Yes. Exploring paths, programs and schools is free. Tuition and training fees are set by each provider.
