I'm supposed to give a speech on my topic. Since I'm in the minority of "Requirements for nursing school should be eased". And I put agree. I'm supposed to have 3 main points, and I cannot have any notes with me or have it memorized. I'm having trouble on my research, I don't know what I should start off with or say...
The only 3 main points are that there are nurse shortage, many hospitals are needing more nurses, and that colleges are requiring nurses to take classes that do not even come in handy for their careers... Other than that, I don't know exactly what to say.
Help me please?

There is a nursing shortage as such hospitals and any other institution that use nurses need more nurses. Your third point will not stand scrutiny. Many of the required courses do integrate into the nursing course in an abstract way such as English or Literature. Courses such as Algebra, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology and Chemistry all apply to nursing.
One talking point you might want to discuss that may be relevant to your point would be lowering required GPA. My point on judging solely on GPA is like judging a book by the cover. Some students are just terrible test takers; some are just are not into the High School experiences but excel once in College.
To find more points type nursing schools into a search engine then pick a school and review their requirements to find one more you would be comfortable talking about.
As to how to make your speech: First find someone to make eye contact that you are comfortable with, this will help with jitters of standing up before the class.
You start of by stating your point. “It is my feeling that Nursing schools need ease their admission requirements… and you lead into your first point which will be the shortage of qualified nurses and how this effect health care.” Then move on to your next points.
