Got into nursing school....Should I wait?!?!

[theeemmakate34]

Hi,

So I did it. The dream that is. I got into a nursing program. I liked the school and I told them I was going. I'm suppose to start a BSN program at Caylor School of Nursing in Harrogate TN in TWO WEEKS.

BUT here's the thing. I've always always always wanted to learn Spanish. It's on my bucket list. If I go to nursing school now I'm going to be bogged down by student loans. I'm worried that I'll never actually accomplish my dream of learning Spanish. That and I'm from California I feel like it would help when coming back if I had a Spanish back ground? Maybe? Or am I just making excuses?!

But at the same time I know how hard it is to get into nursing school!!! And this seems like a really good program. Am i being dumb by not going? I only have a year before one of my prereqs expire.

What do you guys think?!?

This really depends on whether you want to give up a lucrative career as a Spanish translator in order to pursue Nursing. Bilingual Spanish speakers are incredibly rare in the US, there's only about 30 million of them. In just the half decade it takes you to become semi fluent in Spanish you could be demanding top dollar for this rare skill set. Not to mention the incredible advantage of being able to watch Spanish language films without subtitles.

So this one is a no brainer. Short of giving up school in order to start training as a professional video game tester I cant imagine a better reason to drop out.
