The thing is I don’t personally know any nurses and am a first generation college student, so I have quite a few questions about the process of becoming an NP or even just scoring a job as a new RN in general.

Get a job (volunteer or paid) this summer in a hospital or other care facility. You will meet plenty of RNs, you can ask them questions, you can see what the job is like.

IMHO this is something you should have done senior year in HS to know that nursing is right for you before choosing it as a major. Nursing is a great career but isn’t right for everyone; I had a bio teacher in HS who entered a nursing program and got her degree before she realized she didn’t like being around sick people A little investigation before going much farther would be a good idea…
