Major in Fashion Design and then go to Med School?

Published

Ok this might sound crazy to you, but bare with me. So im 18 and plan to go to college next year. Im currently work as a cna and before becoming a cna I always interested in becoming a fashion designer. I got certified in high school and spent 3 years in a nursing assistant program and just talking and learning about the med field and healthcare, i started to wonder if i really want to major in fashion design, even though it's what i wanted to be ever since i was 12. Now at my age im thinking fashion design might not give me that promising future i could have if i go to medical school and become an ob/gyn. I am serious about the medical field and i want to become a doctor. I heard that it doesn't matter what you major in college as long as you get a high GPA and meet the pre-med prerequisites requirements. Do you think it's a good idea for me to major in fashion design and then do everything i have to do and then apply to med school? I was also thinking of going to college for nursing (BSN) since it's very relate-able to me, and then going to med school but i love fashion and i want it to be a part of my life. Doctors don't have to be uninteresting bookworms. Please give me some advice. Don't just read and go back. I need opinions so i could make up my mind, so please help I'll really appreciate it and take every opinion into consideration.

Where did i call myself a RN though? I referred myself as a nurse because i work as a cna not a RN!

A CNA is not a nurse. It is illegal to call yourself a nurse if you're not a nurse. That is what everyone is trying to tell you.

No....it is the word nurse that's the problem. CNAs are not nurses.

Mell101,

I agree with the other poster who said you should go into fashion design after all!

Oh I'm sorry for defending myself. I guess all cnas,rns,lpns,lvns or doctors have to be pushovers and not have strong opinions or not stand up for what they believe in!

Well for a person who's not a nurse i sure do work hard like one. Thanks for the advice. Also i dont think I'm afraid of any sensitive nurses trying to get on my case, or "hurt" me. I'm entitled to my opinion. If i dont major in fashion design i will go for my BSN because everyone knows that CNA's work a billion times harder than RNs because they have to do all the dirty, hard, back-breaking work. I personally don't enjoy the dirty part of being a cna, but i do it because i love helping those in need, and i won't be a cna forever trust me!

Oh dear. You really skewered yourself there. Maybe in the future I would suggest not insulting those you are seeking advice from....

I'm just going to go get my popcorn now.

You guys are really sensitive i see lol. I dont think i want to ever marry or date a male nurse. Because they might just get offended over anything! wow

[Yes sweety and i've done more work than you'll ever do in your entire career, if you really have one that is. Why are you still on my post anyways? Is this as much thrill as you get in your pathetic life?]

This was just being rude.

Oh, sorry. You've been working as a CNA since Friday. My bad.

To the mods: please don't delete this thread. I really want to see how it plays out. Consider it a birthday present.

I enjoy your posts. :)

Where is all this anger coming from? From what I can see people are just giving you advice, which you asked for. And I am not sure what it is that you are standing up for? If it is the right to call yourself a nurse, you can believe in that all you want. It will still be illegal.

It has nothing to do with sensitivity. It's about protecting a title and following the law. Would it be okay to identify yourself as a doctor? Why is this any different?
