Advice, thoughts, etc

Published

Ok so here is my situation. I was a pre med student, but I switched to nursing. I plan to start an ADN program next semester hopefully. I will graduate from it after summer of 2020. Then, while I get work experience as an RN, I plan to do a three semester RN to BSN program that I will finish after summer 2021. I know I either want to do CRNA school or NP school. I currently have an undergrad gpa of 3.93 with some classes not needed for a BSN because I was pre med, like a physics sequence and calculus 1. Of course I hope to keep my GPA this high throughout nursing school or maybe even bump it up a bit. Also I have a semester worth of classes I dropped last month because I did not need them for nursing and was taking them for pre med So, if any of you have any advice or thoughts or anything at all, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Do you have any particular concerns? I see nothing wrong with your overall plan... people change majors all the time. My only thought is to keep an open mind and flexibility. Life happens. You may have difficulty with your first nursing job that makes starting a bsn difficult. Or you may not find a critical care job for a crna program. You may find you don't like critical patients at all. You may want to start a family sometime in the next few years and focus on that and working. All of it is ok...
