Big Dilemma -__-

What about respiratory therapy, a radiology tech, or nuclear medicine tech? Those are all in the medical field. Or could you get into a LPN program and bridge later?

Child and family development with An emphasis in child life. All of my core classes counted towards my degree in chfd because chfd and nursing are in the same college typically, health and human services. Google child life :)

I attended a community college as well as the University for 2 semesters.. everything went fine with no problems at all.

This.

Look into a practical nursing program if nursing is what you want to do; just make sure you file for graduation if you have all your pre-req's for getting into a ADN or BSN program in the future; there are many that have taken this route, including myself successfully.

Hi lady free,

Do you mind sharing ur story of how u became a nurse? Did u already have a bsn in something else and then went into a adn program?

I should have went that route but I started in a csu and now they are so impacted and I should have known better to not get a c in anatomy. So basically I made a mess of myself.

I became a LPN after I tried my ADN program at my local CC; it didn't work out well-I could've returned, but once I started looking into local area nursing programs and saw that the BSN programs were basically the same, I felt personally that having an ADN while going to school for the same length of time as a BSN student-again to ME-was nonsensical; I wanted a bachelors anyway, so since I didn't pass, I looked into a PN program; excelled in it and had enough credits to get my Associates, so I paid the graduation fee and solidified my credits months after I graduated PN school...I was thankful for doing so because I didn't have to retake any courses-I challenged (CLEPed) two science courses to satisfy my BSN program requirements.

When I returned to a BSN program I had been working as a LPN for five years; I would've been in the program years earlier, but a few life setbacks got in the way. I have been an RN for almost two years; the experience as a LPN helped solidify my foundation of nursing knowledge; my experiences of taking opportunities presented to me while working with pts with complex issues has allowed me to be a viable candidate in any setting, as well as leadership positions. I have been working in an area that hasn't had a true nursing shortage in twenty years, and have been able to carve a niche out of it successfully.

Not too bad for an ADN reject, huh?

I just wanted to second your suggestion. I took the LPN route and in the last quarter of my bridge program to get my ADN. I also got a couple C's in A&P I&II which brought my GPA down. (Working full time and two little kids helped that happen-didn't realize importance of my GPA). It may take a little longer but it has ended up being great and I am almost done!!

I am sad to hear that your advisor told you to switch majors....if nursing is for you, never give up on that dream. Are there any community colleges in your area that you can also apply to? I say apply anyway and get CNA experience in the mean time. Look into other schools. Even if it is out of your budget, there are ways to get financial aid. Best of luck :-)
