College

I am currently confused as to what my next step should be as far as college goes. I have applied to about six schools to major in nursing, but I have only been accepted into one nursing school, Husson. Although i liked the school, it is 3 hours away from where I live and that is a little too far of a drive for my liking. I am at a stand still about what to do next. Part of me wants to go to Husson because of the direct entry into nursing, but another part of me is thinking about applying to more schools to major in health science. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge about the health science major?

Thankyou

    Have you tried making a list of pros and cons for each scenario? Unfortunately, only you can decide your future path; none of us can make that decision for you. Each school's health science program is probably going to be a little different. My direct supervisor is currently working on a bachelors in health science to fulfill the requirement that all management holds a bachelors degree. It will not lead to nursing except in an indirect route such as being able to apply for an accelerated BSN program once you graduate. You will probably want to take into account the fact that if you choose to pursue nursing after the health science degree that you will have a lot more school to pay for, whether through loans or out of pocket.

    Something to think about, when you are applying to different nursing schools, make sure you are able to go to all the schools that you apply to.

    If that school is the only one that offers you admission to nursing school, what then? Three hours is a long commute. I would consider renting a room near the school and coming home on those days when you don't have school. Of course, this involves added cost, but it is better than not going to nursing school at all.
