Re: help on nursing
hydr0gen,
Your post indicates that you are pretty young - I would recommend just transferring into a nursing major. Accelerated programs are definitely serving a purpose, but there are plenty of problems with them. The most common issue is that graduates do not feel really prepared for the clinical setting. Because they are so short, graduates of these programs frequently do not feel as though they 'belong' to the nursing profession.
Nursing (clinical) masters programs are not designed for new graduates - the curriculum is designed to build on the skills of an already competent practitioner. You need to have achieved at least minimal competency prior to entering a masters program. This also provides you with an opportunity to determine exactly what clinical area you would like to specialize in.
You sound like an intelligent and thoughful person - and will be a terrific asset to our profession.
