What classes should i take in high school for the nursing field with newborns?

I am going into the 10th grade. I have wanted to work in the nursing field with newborns and infants my whole life. I would like to work in a hospital and care for mainly healthy newborns. I thought about being a neonatal nurse but i read about it and it is mainly with sick babies. Any suggestions for jobs or electives i should take or look into?|||The only things you take in high school that will make a difference in college/ nursing school are your sciences. When you get out of school, you will go to college for Nursing and you will be a RN - Registered Nurse when you graduate and pass the boards. Whether you decide to be a neonatal nurse or work in oncology with cancer patients just depends on your job search. There really is no specialty schooling. Before you can get into most Nursing schools, you generally need a college level math and english, plus you will need Anatomy %26amp; Physiology I. So if you go to a school that in 11th or 12th grade you have the opportunity to take college level classes, definitely take Eng comp and a Math. Plus making sure you have a grip on Chemistry will help big time in Anat %26amp; Phys. Good luck!
