Need some advice on current situation...any help would be greatly apreciated.

Hello everyone...this is my first thread ever posted so bare with me :). Now my situation goes a little bit like this...I am completely devoted on becoming a nurse. Currently I am taking A&P 1 at grossmont I have most of my G.E. done, I just need to finish A&P 2 and Microbiology before I can get myself on the waiting list. Now I'm 19 years old which I believe is still young, but I was thinking..I have no clinical experience at all and i would love to work since im currently unemployed and have just been able to devote my time in school. Now i am really interested in a program that is given at concorde college for individuals who want to do surgical technicians. I was wondering if this in any way would hurt me later as i try getting into the nursing programs. Ive looked at programs that pertain to CNA,MA,EMT but being a surgical technician would be interesting while i end up on the waiting list at grossmont which i know will take a while. I would also be finishing the rest of my classes that i would need as prereqs for a BSN in nursing. So any advice would really help me a lot. Thank you all for your time hope to hear from you all soon.

Grossmont! Kuddos for making your college decision at 19...I don't know you, but I am proud of you! I have a feeling you will have a glorious career ahead of you...no matter what clinical experience you have before the program. Keep the dream alive and work hard!

Wish I had been so smart at 19...well, I was smart and went to college but for my 2nd choice career (Art), not my 1st love (Biology)...but I am getting on track now, it's just a lot harder to do it now at 30...

I take this scripture to heart a lot now...Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

I have applied for fall 07 admission and have no clue (if I get in) how I will fund my life (bills/mortgage/car/preschool/etc........) This scripture help me remember that if this really is what my life purpose is, then God will continue to provide the way...which he has for the past 4 months!

Like I said - great job for working towards you dream NOW!

You can make a way!!!
