I don't know what to do (literally!)...

Okay.

Some of you may think I am talking down about myself, but I just need to be honest so that you can help me to the best of your ability. I do NOT want to rack up anymore student loan debt only to 'fail.' So with that said here it goes (Oh, and hello everyone I'm new lol ):

I am a recent college grad with a BS in education. My major was Community Health Promotion and Education which I loved. Unfortunately, I did not know exactly what I wanted to do before picking this major. Now and I do, and it hurts me to say chances are my degree will not help me.

I do not want to be a nurse per say, but rather a child-birth educator or a diabetes educator. I always wanted to do education, but with this degree, I'm limited to non-profits (the money sucks!) and schools (which I really do not want). But the irony in this is, to get these types of jobs (around here) you need a nursing degree.

The things that stops me are: 1. Blood, guts, and glory is not my type of thing. I can't really see myself doing hands on things that involve touching people, but I would LOVE to be a childbirth educator (which 99% of the time requires a nursing degree). 2. My grades weren't that good in school. My college GPA was a 3.1 but my overall GPA was a 2.9. Not really ideal to compete with other students trying to get in nursing programs around here in Ohio. And 3., I am NOT a good standardized test taker. Enough said.

I guess what I am asking is: Am I a lost cause? If you were in my situation, would you go back to school?
And 2., why do I have to go through clinicals/bedside training only to do education? Is there a way around this such as nursing programs specifically for people who want to do education?

I'm in Ohio if this helps.

TIA everyone. I really appreciate you reading!
