Dropping out of CSU, going to LVN Prog

[itsdee]

Hi everyone

So ive been going to a csu for 4 years now, and im still not where i want to be

Ive decided to leave my csu and apply to an LVN program. I was going to my CSU as a pre-nursing major but switched over to gerontology. Ive been taking gero classes for two semesters now and i dont like it whatsoever. Do you guys think im making the right decision? Need some answers, motivation, encouragement.

Well, with an LVN license, you will have an opportunity to take an LVN to RN program, if admitted. You might be satisfied with an LVN license. Nobody says that you have to become an RN. You should try to get the degree, though, so your four years is not a waste. You don't want to be indicating on job applications or on your resume ten years from now, that you did not graduate from college. It does not look good. There is something to be said for finishing what one starts.

I think you're making the perfect decision for YOU. I've learned from my experience what works for me doesn't work for others and vice versa. I had a similar situation. I was attending a four year school and always felt pressured to do what my parents wanted me to do so I switched majors once or twice. When I looked up I realized I still wasn't happy and felt like I wasted a lot of time. My grades dropped and I ended up having to take a break from school 3 years in. I have now been accepted into an LPN program this fall and I couldn't be happier. Nursing was something I always wanted to do but between distractions and self doubt I started it but never finished pursuing it. I now feel this is the best option for ME so that I can eventually do a bridge LPN to RN program; I couldn't be more excited. Best wishes to whatever you decide to do.

I also failed nursing school. Now I'm opting for LPN school. Please check out my YouTube channel @NurseRo for motivational tips on getting back into school after failing!
