I want to quit!!!!!

So I am in my first semester of junior year in a BSN program. Honestly I hate nursing. I want to quit. I'm not sure what I would go into if I do quit, but I'm positive this is not where I want to be. I DREAD sitting in these five hour lectures and then spend my weekend being stepped over by the med/surf nurses in my 12 hour clinical. I want out, but then what else will I do. My big dream is to own my own business, but what will a business degree get me in today's reality? I have no time to myself and its made me so depressed working hard for something I don't care about. I can't even talk to anyone because all they want is for me to push through saying it will get better.... But will it? Its so stressful and I'm not happy at all. I'm on the verge of failing medsurg (I'm two points away from passing with two exams and a final to go)... If I fail and have to wait a year to retry I can't picture myself coming back... All this stress and misery for what? To graduate work long hours and STILL be stressed and miserable?. Idk I guess I'm just venting...back to class our break is over

I volunteer at a hospice. They have a little hair salon there and once a week some ladies come in from a local salon and do hair. It's all volunteer and all free for the residents. A non-nursing way to make ill people feel a bit better, so if you are interested in interacting with a patient population to some extent, that might be an option once you get your business up and running.
