As far as volunteer work goes, almost all nursing homes and hospitals have a volunteer program, and would love to accommodate you. As far as high school courses go, be sure you take chemistry and algebra, both will come in handy in nursing school. My guess is that you could probably call universities and colleges in your area to find out requirements. Good luck! I'm a nurse in the US and love my job.

If you want to become a registered nurse in Ontario you will have to attend a university as all provinces require a university degree for entry to practice. University nursing programs will contain courses that focus on nursing theory, human biology or human sciences, ethics, research, and communication. The following courses in high school will prepare you for a university nursing program. Chemistry - basic chemistry for students who are not going into a chemistry degree math english 12 biology psychology Your guidance counselor at high school should be able to help you select the right courses to meet admission requirements for the university programs in Ontario. Since nursing is a regulated profession in Canada you cannot do nursing work without a license so you cannot volunteer with a nurse however, any volunteer work you can do at a hospital, nursing home , or community support agency will help you to interact with nurses in a variety of roles and understand more about the scope of nursing practice for a Registered Nurse.
