Do you have any other options?

I was talking with a friend of mine who is also a nursing student and we started talking about if not nursing what So I was just curious if anyone has any other plans if you cant get into nursing school or if the wait list is too long if you have any other plans?

Haven't even considered it, but I suppose I would try to stay in something health care related. Respiratory therapy, rad or ultrasound tech, these things might appeal to me, but one of the main reasons I decided to pursue nursing was for the opportunity to advance myself with the profession. As far as I understand, many of these other technician or therapist positions do not offer this.

I would turn my declared minor (Psychology) into a major and either apply to an Accelerated BSN program after I graduate or maybe consider going into law. I still don't know exactly what I want to do. I'm still an undeclared major, borderline Pre-Nursing major. This indecision is terrible...

If not nursing then I would have done another healthcare related field. I was leaning towards physician assistant or respiratory therapist. I know some people would say if you don't get in keep applying but I really don't want to apply year after year after year.

If I don't get into my school of choice at a private school because of loans (grades won't be the reason) I will retake a bunch of old (20+ yrs) classes and apply to the local University. I'm not giving up, if it takes me longer and different schools, then I will do it.

i love your attitude sand dollar... this is what i needed :redpinkhe thank you!!

Med School. I hear it's less competitive than nursing .

Latin or Classics.

I would go to college and grad school for either of these and then become a teacher. But the illy thing is... I strongly dislike teaching. I could never imagine teaching or anything. But Latin is my favorite other than nursing.
