my name is Helen Bencosme i'm from miami i'm actually getting my AA degree to move on to get a BA degree on education. but deep in inside my heart i love nursing i'm just missing my sciences classes and psychology class to get into nursing school and of course to get a good GPA. Since nursing is so competitive i don't know what to do to change major or not. the only thing that i think of is that after i take those clases that i need and i get turn down what i'm going to do. i will stay without a nursing degree and a education degree. can anybody give me an advise please. what should i do. should i give up my dream of become a nursing just because the competition . i love to care for people especially elderly.

You shouldn't post your full name on a public internet site.

I wonder why you would avoid realizing your dream because of competition. So you might get your ego bruised a little IF you're turned down but if you truly love it you'll continue to apply until you accomplishh what you want. Also I agree, don't post your full name.

If you get turned down at first, work on BSN/ADN program requirements while you're waiting to get in. This way you'll be a little ahead and can raise your GPA, which is good for nursing school.

Maybe you should make an appointment with your career counselor at school as well.

Thank you for you advisement. Posting my full name i don't know what I was thinking. I trust people too much and that is a problem.
Can I get more information on the BSNAD program. Thank you guys is true i shouldn't give up my dream because competition.

BSN is a 4 years degree, ADN/ASN is a 2 year degree. For more info I can't stress enough:see a counselor. Better yet, get the email of the Dean of Nursing or whoever the head of the nursing department is and email them with any questions you have.
