   jkoulakani replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks! I think I was a little frustrated because I'm aware that nursing can be extremely difficult (well I can't say completely, because I'm not a nurse myself), but this women i know is a retired nurse and she told me the hardships of working an e...

   jkoulakani replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ohhh okay, I understand what you're saying! For example, I could be an anthropology major for all they care as long as all my prerequisites for the nursing program are fulfilled? But does that apply to receiving a BSN as well? also how competitive is...

   jkoulakani replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah I see what you're saying. and as hard as it is to admit that my thinking is flawed, I will. Its just with the way everyone is explaining their job it sounds miserable and that may be the honesty but I was also hoping that people would include so...

   Okay, I appreciate the honesty. Theres not much more I can say, if you don't think the tone of anyone here was a bit discouraging then that is fine, I'm by no means a confrontational person and I usually get along with everyone.

   Okay well you can get your point across without being discouraging. And if thats true about school and a nursing program, and thats how i will be "treated" well then I will find that out very soon, and I hope to prove you wrong.

   Thank you for your patience I genuinely asked this question for honesty, yes but I was surprised that mostly ALL the feedback given was negative. I appreciate you taking time to be honest AND kind (cause believe or not you can be both).

   jkoulakani replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes everything you are saying makes complete sense. I just picked microbiology because the nursing major was extremely competitive and I knew if iI applied with that major, my admission would be rejected. Ive earned good grades throughout high school...

   Thank you so much!! By far the most helpful answer, this is exactly why I posted this question. I think shadowing would be a wise choice. I have a great local hospital here with many shadowing opportunities, I appreciate the feedback. Again thank you...

    I was simply going to major in microbiology and then transfer into nursing. It is a lot easier to transfer if the majors are relevant to one another. Like for example it would be a lot more difficult for a communications major to transfer into nursin...

    jkoulakani replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm aware college students change their majors quit often, thanks. My counselor who I have been communicating with via email has told me changing majors ESPECIALLY in the sciences and nursing can be competitive and hard. I have already been admitted ...

12. Aspiring Nurse

    jkoulakani replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well I can't change my major that easily so ill probably tough it out but from the feedback i've received (with the exception of a few) it seems as if nursing seems miserable. I'm not offended and I'm fully aware that I've asked a question to receive...

    I am officially closing this discussion and I no longer want to be a nurse, thanks for the input guys.

15. Aspiring Nurse

    jkoulakani replied to jkoulakani's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm sure you guys are just trying to provide me the harsh reality of it but can you give me some positive aspects of nursing? Cause right now I find it hard to believe ANYONE would be a nurse. Also, you said they need nurses but don't always hire the...
