Check with your state health department. Tell him to get his GED though -- it's the most basic certification you can have and he'll get a lot more respect from people.

It is necessary firstly to finish a high school then after being graduated you can attend 2 or 3 years nursing course to be professional. So, if she doesn't have a high school finishing diploma or certificate, she can't join such course for nursing. You better go through a particular site of certain nursing course school at the place of your living. The problem is you did not mention where are you writing from. But, anyhow my answer is right, unless she is graduated from a high school, the chance is rather zero. Best luck.<br><b>References : </b><br>My experience The nursing course lasts for either 2 or 3 years, depending upon the place you live.
